Subject: binary patch compatibility
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 14:03:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4b73d43f0611011303m3e58b227x1a0bd60a9719f9f8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If I commit a new binary file to a repository and then use
git-format-patch --binary to produce a patch the resulting patch file
is not compatible with the patch command.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible.

Thanks
