Re: [BUG] git-am silently applying patches incorrectly

'Twas brillig, and Junio C Hamano at 04/03/11 21:33 did gyre and gimble:

In short, Linus and I both know what you are talking about, and we may
revisit that issue later, but the thing is that it would not be very
pleasant, and not something that can be done in one sitting during a
single discussion thread on the list.

As a simple option to avoid that, how about just printing out (by
default) the line offsets if hunks don't apply 100% cleanly? This would
at least alert you to the fact that some fixups were needed.

Just a thought...
