I'm not sure that this works for non-custodians. Custodians can do git-rename and then send a patch to the mailing list. When a custodian sends such a patch, it is mainly for review only, and not to be applied somewhere (because it is already in git).
This results then in something
cpu/sa1100/{interrupts.c => timer.c} | 5 +- rename cpu/arm925t/{interrupts.c => timer.c} (99%)
(from [1]). But this is only what normally 'diffstat' generates and what is totally ignored by 'patch' .
It can be applied with "git am" (well, not the diffstat, but the special rename diff hunk that git also generates).
Ok, thanks. But not with other tools, like plain 'patch', correct?
Best regards
