Re: git rm / format-patch / am fails on my file: patch does not apply

ASCII text, with very long lines, with CRLF, CR, LF line terminators

I am not very much surprised if such a file misbehaves, because the
"format-patch | am" pipeline is designed to be used on patches that
can be transferred in plain-text e-mail safely.  Long lines should
probably be OK, but mixed CRLF, CR and LF may be problematic.

Having said that...

I've confirmed with the following test case on three machines, so it
seems reproducible:

mkdir temp_test_case
cd temp_test_case
git init
# my file.  Sorry--couldn't find a saner link!
wget -O jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js
http://sourceforge.net/p/agency/code/ci/9358ea4dbe8e1540ec0b8bebfc7770f1bf8be0ec/tree/jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js?format=raw
git add jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js
git commit -m 'Adding jquery-ui'
git rm jquery-ui-1.8.custom.min.js
git commit -m 'Removing jquery-ui'
git format-patch HEAD~1
git reset --hard HEAD~1
git am 0001*

... this does not break at all for me.
