This doc needs to be fixed then: http://drupal.org/patch/create It says to use: diff -up path/to/file/example.module path/to/file/exampleNew.module > mypatchname.patch Which produces p0 patches :(. G On 04/11/2011 01:21 PM, Randy Fay wrote:
I noticed in another thread that somebody suggested git diff --no-prefix for creating patches.
Please don't do that any more. We've moved to standard git patches (git diff without the --no-prefix, meaning a patch -p1 patch).
Testbot support for -p0 patches (--no-prefix) will be removed around the end of May. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/140204
Some of you may have the --no-prefix stuff in your .gitconfig. Please remove it from there as well.
In the issue queues, please start to insist on rerolls for -p0 formatted patches (if they have no a/ and b/ in front of the filenames.
Thanks for your cooperation.
