I'm running macOS 10.13.4. I don't have any unusual file system setup, as far as I'm aware. The filename in my test case is simply `foo`.

I tried the steps you suggested: on git 2.17.0, saving the patch, editing it, and applying it, and it succeeded.

That was the case, although I had to remove the `--check` flag from `git apply`.

I've never done it before, but I assume it's well documented, so I'm willing to give it a shot!

Happy to try any steps to debug this! Although I'm a bit surprised no-one else can reproduce it with the same version of Git, which makes it seem less likely this could be a bug, and more likely it's something in my setup.
