Ah, we were thinking that 'git am' (when run from a subdirectory), would apply the patches "from the current directory". So the right solution was to instead do: $ git am --directory=foo/bar/baz -p 3 0001-my-test.patch Thank you, -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
