DESCRIPTION
-----------
--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".
+ abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. For
+ binary files, outputs two `-` instead of saying
+ `0 0`. Turns off "apply".
--summary::
Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed
context exist they all must match. By default no context is
ever ignored.
+--unidiff-zero::
+ By default, gitlink:git-apply[1] expects that the patch being
+ applied is a unified diff with at least one line of context.
+ This provides good safety measures, but breaks down when
+ applying a diff generated with --unified=0. To bypass these
+ checks use '--unidiff-zero'.
++
+Note, for the reasons stated above usage of context-free patches are
+discouraged.
+
--apply::
If you use any of the options marked "Turns off
'apply'" above, gitlink:git-apply[1] reads and outputs the
* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.
---inacurate-eof::
+--inaccurate-eof::
Under certain circumstances, some versions of diff do not correctly
detect a missing new-line at the end of the file. As a result, patches
created by such diff programs do not record incomplete lines
correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by
working around this bug.
---verbose::
+-v, --verbose::
Report progress to stderr. By default, only a message about the
current patch being applied will be printed. This option will cause
additional information to be reported.
