I tried like this:
git diff v4.14.9..v4.14.10 | (cd /usr/src/linux-4.14 && patch -p1 )
or xzcat .../patch-4.14.9-10.xz | patch -p1
As I said, in both cases, sync-check.sh is not executable.

But if I do git archive --prefix=linux-4.14/  | (cd ../ && tar xvfp - ), sync-script.sh is executable.

Would there be something wrong with the patch command ?
