Up to now, we closed those reports because the patch files are bogus and we want to ensure that what is shipped in a Debian source package is clean. > | but it seems > | to me those are just somewhat bogus anyway, did you manually create > | that patch or maybe it was extracted from a mail client that mangles > | the body (evolution for example)? > > It was straight diff from git 1.7.10: > > git COMMIT COMMIT -- FILE > output.patch I doubt it. I bet that you have some editor hook that cleans up mixes of spaces and tabs at the start of a line... or something similar. But I have never seen git generate this kind of patch. On the contrary, I often see some red highlight in my git log/show commands when I stumble upon such patches.
