[Bug 862280] Re: Patch cannot handle spaces in filenames

[i30817]

10 years later, I still have to remember to add tabs manually every time
i do a refresh from quilt. Is there any patch alternative i can install
that is sane instead of insane about their precious purity of not using
spaces in pathnames?

Title:
  Patch cannot handle spaces in filenames

Status in patch package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When there are spaces in a filename in a patch file, quilt is unable
  to properly apply the patch. See this patch file example:

  --- a/foo bar/file.txt
  +++ b/foo bar/file.txt
  <rest of patch file>

  The patch is applied on 'a/foo' instead of 'a/foo bar/file.txt'
