Re: [PATCH] Fix git-apply with -p greater than 1

Federico Cuello [off-list ref] writes:

Fix the case when the patch is a rename or mode-change only
and -p is used with a value greater than one.
The git_header_name function did not remove more than one path
component.

Thanks.

It is customary to protect your fix with additional test script so that
you do not have to be constantly monitoring the mailing list traffic to
make sure somebody else will not break your changes.

Perhaps something like this?  Note that I didn't run the test myself,
though (for that matter, I haven't applied your patch to see if it
compiles, yet).
