 	up-to-date, it is flagged as an error.  This flag also
 	causes the index file to be updated.
 
---show-files::
-	Show summary of files that are affected by the patch.
+--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 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.
+
+-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 send the
+	rejected hunks to the standard output of the command.
+
+-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.
+
+-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.
 
 --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::
+	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.
+
+--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.
