Re: [PATCH] git apply: binary files differ can be applied with -pN (N>1).

When patch file generated against two non-git directories using
'git diff --binary --no-index' without '--no-prefix', the patch
file has patch level greater then 1, and should be applied with
'-p2' option. But it does not work if there are binary differ
in the patch file, it is because in one case the patch level is
not properly handled.

Can you please add a testcase to protect your fix from getting broken by
later changes by other people, perhaps to t/t4120?

Yes, I add a testcase in t/t4120, and I will send it as a new PATCH.
The new testcase is like following:

+test_expect_success 'apply git diff with -p2 and use default name from header' '
+       sed -e "/^\(---\|+++\) / d" patch.file > patch.newheader &&
+       cp file1.saved file1 &&
+       git apply -p2 patch.newheader
+'
+

By the way, this codepath is shared by all forms of patches "diff --git"
header, not just binary.  Do you see a similar breakage with --no-prefix
patches that are not binary, and if not why?

The breakage will appear under these circumstances:
* the patch is in git style: header with "diff --git".
* the header does not contain '--- path/to/old' and '+++ path/to/new'.
* has a patch level greater than 1.

When I do `git diff` against binary files, I find the patch header does not has
'--- path/to/old' and '+++ path/to/new'. May be there exist other cases, but
I'm not sure.
