Thomas, All,

On 2017-06-24 21:59 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Patches with renames apply properly with patch >= 2.7, but not with
> older patch versions. Since "git format-patch" by default generates
> patches with renames, Buildroot developers often don't realize that
> their patches will not apply properly on build machines that have
> patch < 2.7. In order to prevent such a situation from happening
> again, this commit adds some logic in apply-patches.sh to refuse
> applying patches that contain renames.

This file a space-leading, but here you have a tab...
