Subject: possible minor bug: 'git apply --reject' unnecessarily touches files
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 16:01:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <550C282C.6090302@peralex.com> (raw)

Hi

I'm doing some splitting of a large patch and I noticed that when I do

   $ git apply --reject large_patch.diff

and it generates a lot of .rej files, it seems to be touching the files that produced the .rej output, even if nothing 
in that particular file was actually updated.

Not a major issue, but it would help my build times, which are considerable when working on LibreOffice :-)

Thanks, Noel Grandin
