Hello!
I have a certain patch called my_pcc_branch.patch.
When I try to apply it, I get following message:
$ git apply --check my_pcc_branch.patch warning: src/main/java/.../AbstractedPanel.java has type 100644, expected 100755 error: patch failed: src/main/java/.../AbstractedPanel.java:13 error: src/main/java/.../AbstractedPanel.java: patch does not apply
What does it mean?
How can I fix this problem?
Notes:
1) I posted this question on StackOverflow and tried out several things suggested there.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4770177/git-patch-does-not-apply
However, I don't have a working solution yet.
2) I'm using git 1.7.3.1.mysgit.0 under Windows 7. The author of the patch uses Windows XP.
Thanks in advance
Dmitri
