Subject: A question about using 'add -p' to split the patch
Message-ID: <46dff0320906142008v4f278d3ek3eebfa36f7fcf06a@mail.gmail.com>

file bt.php in the HEAD:

function bt_add($path) {
 return;
}

file bt.php in the working directory:

function bt_move($path, $pos) {
  return;
}
function bt_add($path, $pos) {
  bt_move($path, $pos)
  return;
}

Now i want to split the change into two parts:
First introduce bt_move
Then add a param pos to bt_add and call bt_move

With the 'e' action of 'add -p', i got

-function bt_add($path) {
+function bt_move($path, $pos) {
+  return;
+}
+function bt_add($path, $pos) {
+  bt_move($path, $pos)
   return;
 }

Then, i want to edit the patch to get


function bt_move($path, $pos) {
  return;
}
function bt_add($path) {
  return;
}

However, whatever i do, the patch fails to apply. Any suggestion?
