Subject: git apply --directory broken for new files
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:41:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48DBF794.9030809@zytor.com> (raw)

Trying with git 1.6.0.1:

: tazenda 124 ; git apply --directory=gpxe/ < /tmp/diff
fatal: git-apply: bad git-diff - inconsistent new filename on line 105

Line 105 in the diff is:

    101  diff --git a/src/arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/fakee820.c 
b/src/arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/fakee820.c
    102  new file mode 100644
    103  index 0000000..e171edf
    104  --- /dev/null
    105  +++ b/src/arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/fakee820.c

What I'm trying to do here is to apply a diff created via "git diff" to 
a subdirectory of another git repository.
