Hi,
I am using b4 (both master and 0.14.y) on Debian 12 with git 2.39.5
(the latest available).
Unfortunately, it is failing with errors such as:
"CRITICAL: Failed to convert range to patches: Could not get a patch
out of bfd12f86c8a48927959a7d88c84296823e15a8f9."
I narrowed this down to the use of the '--default-prefix' option in
git_range_to_patches(), which seems to have been added in git v2.41.
Once I commented that out, everything worked fine.
Is there a minimum supported git version listed somewhere?
Best,
Tal

Hm... we should make things work with that version of git. I wasn't aware of
this limitation.
Thanks for the report.
