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

GNU patch doesn't understand git binary patch. git-apply does (as does
git-am). There is no universal binary diff format.
