How does one make a patch for a while, that has blanks in the path:

--- foo bar/meow~       Fri Mar 11 09:00:49 2005
+++ foo bar/meow        Fri Jun 10 12:17:22 2005
-       a = 0;
+       a = 1;

With the above example, patch searches only for `foo', then gives up and asks for help. I tried quoting the entire file name and escaping the blanks with backslashes -- neither method works... Any ideas? Thanks!

There was a discussion and maybe even a fix proposed for this issue on one of the GNU lists, probably <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>? Anyway, I don't think the current release version of patch will handle paths containing spaces...
