It is a pax extended global header, Yes, I knew I could ignore the file right away. I figured it was due to some new feature of GNU tar. > was released on 2001-08-29, by the way. May I ask what operating system > and version you are using? Mandrake 8,1 for i586. I had not encountered problems with GNU tar 1.13.22 before. A quick google showed this was not a rare problem, but nothing in the tarball for git-1.4.0 mentioned this problem. I understand that it may be a rare or nonexistant problem for the target audience of "git", but just a sentence or two would be enough clue to help out those who may need it. > It took me a while to realize that your diffs are reversed. It's too Yes, unfortunately, I did reverse it, but even patch can handle that. > A good first exercise would be to fetch the git repository, edit Makefile > and commit your change, and then send a patch to this list -- all using A good suggestion, but I am a newbie as you can tell, and would prefer to play in a sandbox for some time before I would attempt it. Of more concern to me now is a failed test : > * FAIL 12: apply diff between 3 and 2 > git-apply * failed 2 among 12 test(s) > make[1]: *** [t4101-apply-nonl.sh] Error 1 All the other tests worked which is great. Thanks for your reply. Shalom, Michael
