DESCRIPTION
-----------
cached data, apply the patch, and store the result in the index,
without using the working tree. This implies '--index'.
---build-fake-ancestor <file>::
+--build-fake-ancestor=<file>::
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
be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to exclude certain
files or directories.
+--include=<path-pattern>::
+ Apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can
+ be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to include certain
+ files or directories.
++
+When --exclude and --include patterns are used, they are examined in the
+order they appear on the command line, and the first match determines if a
+patch to each path is used. A patch to a path that does not match any
+include/exclude pattern is used by default if there is no include pattern
+on the command line, and ignored if there is any include pattern.
+
--whitespace=<action>::
When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line that has
whitespace errors. What are considered whitespace errors is
