DESCRIPTION
-----------
up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. This flag also
causes the index file to be updated.
+--cached::
+ Apply a patch without touching the working tree. Instead, take the
+ cached data, apply the patch, and store the result in the index,
+ without using the working tree. This implies '--index'.
+
--index-info::
Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information'
for each blob to help identify the original version that
the original version of the blob is available locally,
outputs information about them to the standard output.
+-R, --reverse::
+ Apply the patch in reverse.
+
+--reject::
+ For atomicity, gitlink:git-apply[1] by default fails the whole patch and
+ does not touch the working tree when some of the hunks
+ do not apply. This option makes it apply
+ the parts of the patch that are applicable, and leave the
+ rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files.
+
-z::
When showing the index information, do not munge paths,
but use NUL terminated machine readable format. Without
backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
respectively.
+-p<n>::
+ Remove <n> leading slashes from traditional diff paths. The
+ default is 1.
+
+-C<n>::
+ Ensure at least <n> lines of surrounding context match before
+ and after each change. When fewer lines of surrounding
+ 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, git-apply reads and outputs the
+ If you use any of the options marked "Turns off
+ 'apply'" above, gitlink:git-apply[1] 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, --binary::
+ Historically we did not allow binary patch applied
+ without an explicit permission from the user, and this
+ flag was the way to do so. Currently we always allow binary
+ patch application, so this is a no-op.
+
+--exclude=<path-pattern>::
+ Don't apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can
+ be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to exclude certain
+ files or directories.
+
+--whitespace=<option>::
+ When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line
+ that ends with trailing whitespaces (this includes a
+ line that solely consists of whitespaces). By default,
+ the command outputs warning messages and applies the
+ patch.
+ When gitlink:git-apply[1] is used for statistics and not applying a
+ patch, it defaults to `nowarn`.
+ You can use different `<option>` to control this
+ behavior:
++
+* `nowarn` turns off the trailing whitespace warning.
+* `warn` outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
+ patch (default).
+* `error` outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses
+ to apply the patch.
+* `error-all` is similar to `error` but shows all errors.
+* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
+ trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.
+
+--inacurate-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::
+ 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.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+apply.whitespace::
+ When no `--whitespace` flag is given from the command
+ line, this configuration item is used as the default.
