It would be nice if the applicability of patch could be tested before it is
actually applied. With patches that span multiple files this is even more
handy.
The git-apply(1) command contains option --check to simulate applying a
patch. It's output looks like:
warning: src/Config.tmpl_solaris has type 100755, expected 100644
warning: src/Config.tmpl_solaris.gcc has type 100755, expected 100644
warning: src/Config.tmpl_sunos has type 100755, expected 100644
error: src/Makefile: wrong type
error: patch failed: src/dg/Makefile:141
error: src/dg/Makefile: patch does not apply
I'm proposing similar functionality:
warning: For fuzz hunks
error: for failures
to be added to patch(1) as well. The possible options could be:
-S, --simulate
