A quick google showed this was not a rare problem, but nothing in\nthe tarball for git-1.4.0 mentioned this problem. I understand that it may\nbe a rare or nonexistant problem for the target audience of \"git\", but just\na sentence or two would be enough clue to help out those who may need it.\n\n> It took me a while to realize that your diffs are reversed.

Of more concern\nto me now is a failed test :\n\n> * FAIL 12: apply diff between 3 and 2\n>        git-apply <diff.3-2 && diff frotz.2 frotz\n> * failed 2 among 12 test(s)\n> make[1]: *** [t4101-apply-nonl.sh] Error 1\n\nAll the other tests worked which is great.

FreeBSD comes with a\nversion of \"diff\" which does not add the \"\\ No newline at end of file\"\nremark.  Maybe your \"diff\" is simply too old.  In that case, it's not a\nserious problem because Git uses its own internal diff implementation.\n\nThe intention of this test is to test git-apply and not the system's\n\"diff\", so perhaps it should bring along all its patches and not rely\non the system's \"diff\" to generate them...\n\nRegards,\nDennis\n"},{"id":"21975","messageId":"44947DF5.7080905@lsrfire.ath.cx","threadId":"4541","inReplyTo":"200606171016.k5HAGQ1D005560@grail.cba.csuohio.edu","subject":"Re: git-1.4.0 make problems","fromName":"Rene Scharfe","fromEmail":"rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx","sentAt":"2006-06-17T22:11:01Z","receivedAt":"2006-06-17T22:11:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"l.s.r@web.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/26122331?v=4"},"body":"Michael Somos wrote:\n> A good suggestion, but I am a newbie as you can tell, and would prefer to\n> play in a sandbox for some time before I would attempt it.\n\nYou already sent a diff in your first message, so you're not that much\nof a newbie. :-)\n\nThanks for telling us about your first encounter with git, by the way.\nTake your time, and have fun learning and using git!\n\nRené\n"}]}
