Folks,
Lately I've been running into a lot of reports of false conflicts
reported by "git apply". The most recent one was the "points" patch,
which git apply rejected for completely ficticious reasons (it claimed
that the patch was trying to create a new file where a file already
existed, which it wasn't).
I think we should modify the patch review and developer instructions to
recommend always using patch -p1 (or -p0, depending), even if the patch
was produced with "git diff".
Thoughts?
