Hello everyone, Recently, the SMTP server we use at work started mangling outgoing messages, by converting them to quoted-printable, whatever their original encoding (even 7-bit clean, pure ASCII).
This breaks patches I send to Linux mailing lists, because it changes TAB to =09, EQUAL to =3D, TRAILING SPACE to =20 and also wraps long lines using a "=" continuation. It looks like 'git am' doesn't support decoding this mess. (I tried git version 2.14.2) $ git am ~/rc.patch Applying: media: rc: Add driver for tango IR decoder error: patch failed: drivers/media/rc/Kconfig:469 error: drivers/media/rc/Kconfig: patch does not apply error: patch failed: drivers/media/rc/Makefile:44 error: drivers/media/rc/Makefile: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 media: rc: Add driver for tango IR decoder The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue". If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead. To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort". Is there a magic option I should be passing to git am? The patch header contains: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The drivers/media/rc/Kconfig:469 part is --- a/drivers/media/rc/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/media/rc/Kconfig @@ -469,6 +469,11 @@ config IR_SIR =09 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will =09 be called sir-ir. =20 +config IR_TANGO +=09tristate "Sigma Designs SMP86xx IR decoder" +=09depends on RC_CORE +=09depends on ARCH_TANGO || COMPILE_TEST + config IR_ZX =09tristate "ZTE ZX IR remote control" =09depends on RC_CORE Googling a bit... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6289001/git-am-format-patch-control-format-of-line-endings https://public-inbox.org/git/24940e12-3f72-1ef0-0983-58523d8de...@redhat.com/t/ Looks like it should work... Maybe I hit some weird corner case? Regards.
