The attatched patch is a reduced version (the original was massive) of a
patch generated from git. When trying to feed it to interdiff I get
errors like:

root@debian:/# interdiff test2.diff test2.diff
The next patch would create the file /tmp/interdiff-1.QMmyg0,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n]

In the middle of the file are the following two lines:

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-bcm2708/bcm2708.h
b/arch/arm/mach-bcm2708/bcm2708.h
new file mode 100644

Which as I understand the patch format do not form a part of the actual
patch and should be ignored by toools.

However if I remove either of these two lines then interdiff accepts the
patch without errors.

Any idea what is going on?

FYI it looks like interdiff did not know about git patch headers and
that was just fixed upstream 3 days ago:

https://github.com/twaugh/patchutils/commit/14261ad5461e6c4b3ffc2f87131601ff79e2a0fc
(and several previous commits)

fixed 717411 0.3.4-1
thanks

I've just re-tested with freshly uploaded patchutils, and where
interdiff from patchutils_0.3.3-1 was failing, with 0.3.4-1 it now works
ok.

Thanks,
