Hi, all: Every now and again I come across a patch sent to LKML without a leading "diff a/foo b/foo" -- usually produced by quilt. E.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181125185004.151077...@linutronix.de/ I am guessing quilt does not bother including the leading "diff a/foo b/foo" because it's redundant with the next two lines, however this remains a valid patch recognized by git-am. If you pipe that patch via git-patch-id, it produces nothing, but if I put in the leading "diff", like so: diff a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c then it properly returns "fb3ae17451bc619e3d7f0dd647dfba2b9ce8992e". Can we please teach git-patch-id to work without the leading diff a/foo b/foo, same as git-am? Best, -K
