Subject: subtle bug in git-am
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2020 21:48:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200407184823.GA3932679@smile.fi.intel.com> (raw)
Hi!
What I would like to do is to apply patch from one repository to another with
same files but *different directory structure*.
When I try to change directory in the target repo to the folder of files, I run
git-am -p5 my_cool_patch.patch.
Instead of the expected result (files and their contents is the same!) I got
fileXXX is not in index.
So, I think this is a bug, because -p<n> use in git-am makes little to no sense
without above feature.
Perhaps I didn't understand something.
Please, advise.
$ git version
git version 2.25.1
