Sometimes, it can happen that a patch only applies with "fuzz", for example:
$ hg import http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-attachment/ticket/11298/trac11298_singular_standard_options.rebase4.7.1.a1.patch patching file doc/en/reference/misc.rst Hunk #1 succeeded at 10 with fuzz 2 (offset 0 lines). My personal opinion on applying patches with fuzz is that I allow patches with fuzz 1 but not with fuzz 2. I have seen at least two cases where a "fuzz 2" patch was actually wrongly merged (I don't remember which tickets). -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
