Somewhat related bug, but reproduceable event without "--". If I set
diff context to none in git gui (by repeatedly clicking "show less
context") I'm sometimes not able to stage hunk or line.

git version 1.6.0.GIT
git-gui version 0.11.GITGUI

Steps to reproduce:

agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~$ mkdir test
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~$ cd test
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/agladysh/test/.git/
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ cat >file.ext
-- 1
-- 2
-- 3
-- 4
-- 5
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ git add file.ext
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ git commit -m "one"
Created initial commit aa4da16: one
 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 file.ext
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ cat >file.ext
-- 1
-- 2
-- 33
-- 4
-- 5
agladysh@agladysh-desktop:~/test$ git gui

Reduce context to none, then do stage hunk. It fails with message:

error: patch failed: file.ext:3
error: file.ext: patch does not apply
OK

Dump (by your debuging dumper patch from the same tread):

diff --git a/file.ext b/file.ext
--- a/file.ext
+++ b/file.ext
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
 -- 1

Do stage line. It fails with message:

fatal: corrupt patch at line 5

Dump:

HTH,
