Re: [msysGit] Problem with apply

This isn't a Windows specific question, and would be better for the
main git mailing list. I'm CC'ing it in hope that someone there knows
the answer.

I'm trying to use git to create a binary diff of two files and then apply
the diff to the first file in an attempt to make both files the same (just
testing the concept);

git diff --binary --no-index original\t1.ppt modified\t1.ppt >
original\my.diff
cd original
git apply my.diff

This is giving me the following error message;
fatal: git diff header lacks filename information (line 3)

Any suggestions as to where I've gone wrong?
Thanks.
