A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced. When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option, the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is already available in the object directory. Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

git-apply - Apply patch on a git index file and a work tree
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-apply' [--stat] [--numstat] [--summary] [--check] [--index] [--apply] [--no-add] [--index-info] [--allow-binary-replacement] [-z] [<patch>...]
|

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads supplied diff output and applies it on a git index file
|
|
and a work tree.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<patch>...::
|
|
The files to read patch from. '-' can be used to read
|
|
from the standard input.
|
|
|
|
--stat::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, output diffstat for the
|
|
input. Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--numstat::
|
|
Similar to \--stat, but shows number of added and
|
|
deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without
|
|
abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. Turns
|
|
off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--summary::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
|
|
summary of information obtained from git diff extended
|
|
headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes.
|
|
Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--check::
|
|
Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is
|
|
applicable to the current work tree and/or the index
|
|
file and detects errors. Turns off "apply".
|
|
|
|
--index::
|
|
When --check is in effect, or when applying the patch
|
|
(which is the default when none of the options that
|
|
disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is
|
|
applicable to what the current index file records. If
|
|
the file to be patched in the work tree is not
|
|
up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also
|
|
causes the index file to be updated.
|
|
|
|
--index-info::
|
|
Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information'
|
|
for each blob to help identify the original version that
|
|
the patch applies to. When this flag is given, and if
|
|
the original version of the blob is available locally,
|
|
outputs information about them to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
When showing the index information, do not munge paths,
|
|
but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without
|
|
this flag, the pathnames output will have TAB, LF, and
|
|
backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
--apply::
|
|
If you use any of the options marked ``Turns off
|
|
"apply"'' above, git-apply reads and outputs the
|
|
information you asked without actually applying the
|
|
patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply
|
|
the patch.
|
|
|
|
--no-add::
|
|
When applying a patch, ignore additions made by the
|
|
patch. This can be used to extract common part between
|
|
two files by first running `diff` on them and applying
|
|
the result with this option, which would apply the
|
|
deletion part but not addition part.
|
|
|
|
--allow-binary-replacement::
|
|
When applying a patch, which is a git-enhanced patch
|
|
that was prepared to record the pre- and post-image object
|
|
name in full, and the path being patched exactly matches
|
|
the object the patch applies to (i.e. "index" line's
|
|
pre-image object name is what is in the working tree),
|
|
and the post-image object is available in the object
|
|
database, use the post-image object as the patch
|
|
result. This allows binary files to be patched in a
|
|
very limited way.
