As the patch was too large, I put it in a internal git development tree and listed the url link in the mail. The url link I listed was the 'plain' of the patch. It's no harm to common patch, but when there're binary files in the patch, the 'plain' can not
display those binaries.
So the patch you get from the 'plain' link may not include
the binary
file deletion.
I'm afraid I don't really understand what that means.
I mean that my orignal patch include removing those binary files. but the link can not display it.
I've tried to make another patch to delete those binary files. But this patch is also large than the requirment. This time I
tried put
the patch itself on the link below, Please refer to it. Thanks.
Umm... why is your patch that big? When I remove a file, I expect that the resulting "patch" takes only 3...4 lines per removed file, something like this:
diff --git a/<file> b/<file> deleted file mode 100644 index 5533346..0000000 Binary files <file> and /dev/null differ
Are you using git-diff to create the patch? If not, you should try that...
Usually, I use git-format-patch to create the patch and use git-apply apply the patch.
Yes, git-diff can generate the patch like you descripted. but the patch can not apply to the source by git-apply, I tried to use cg-patch to apply this kind of patch, it can remove the binary files but can not remove the empty directory.
