`git am` uses the same code as `git apply` to apply patches, so there should be no difference between `git am --check` and `git apply --check`. > Rationale: I'm working on an email client which has some git > integration, and when you scroll over a patch I want to quickly test its > applicability and show an indication of the result. > > Thoughts on the approach are welcome; my initial naive patch just tried > to add --check to the apply flags but that didn't work as I had hoped. > Will take another crack at a patch soon(ish). Could you tell us about what didn't work as you hoped? And how `git am --check` would be different from `git apply --check`?
