If I commit a new binary file to a repository and then use git-format-patch --binary to produce a patch the resulting patch file is not compatible with the patch command. Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible. Thanks

GNU patch doesn't understand git binary patch. git-apply does (as does git-am). There is no universal binary diff format. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
