How to reproduce the bug:

1. Generate a patch file against two directory with binary diff.
================================================================

$ mkdir hello-1.0 hello-2.0

$ git diff --no-index --binary hello-1.0 hello-2.0 > patch.txt

2. The patch file has patch level 2
===================================

$ cat patch.txt 

diff --git a/hello-1.0/binary.dat b/hello-2.0/binary.dat
index dc2e37f81e0fa88308bec48cd5195b6542e61a20..bf948689934caf2d874ff8168cb716fbc2a127c3 100644
GIT binary patch
delta 37
hcmY#zn4qBGzyJX+<}pH93=9qo77QFfQiegA0RUZd1MdI;

delta 4
LcmZ=zn4kav0;B;E

3. Apply the patch failed
=========================

$ cd hello-1.0

$ git apply --check -p2 ../patch.txt
fatal: git diff header lacks filename information when removing 2 leading pathname components (line 3)
