I encountered another example yesterday after sending the above message
[*1*].  I was fixing one small bug, and had a commit that updates code and
adds a test vector.  It is a single commit on top of the current branch
tip, which allegedly as a buggy code.

Then I wanted to double check that the bug really existed before the fix.

	git checkout HEAD^
        git show @{-1} t/ | git apply

Alternative:
          git checkout @{-1} t/

True in this case, but that is usable when "diff @{-1}^ @{-1}" happens to
be the _only_ change to your current state, so it won't be a general
substitute for the "diff | apply" pipeline.
