             Summary: Make leading path component optional in patch files (support IntelliJ patch files)
                 Key: YETUS-645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-645
             Project: Yetus
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: David Smiley


IntelliJ IDEA has a "create patch" feature that generates patch files in a format that isn't supported by some tools like Yetus.  In particular, there is no leading "a/" and "b/" in the paths.  That appears to be the sole difference requiring these patches to be supported.
 
See [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-92793]
 
To work around this, I wrote a one-liner Bash script using SED to insert the "a/" and b/" at the right spots:
{code:java}
sed -i '' -e 's/^--- /--- a\//g' -e 's/^+++ /+++ b\//g' "$1"
{code}
In this issue I propose that Yetus detect the absence of a/ and b/ and either (a) insert them using a similar script, or (b) toggling the "-p" option when the patch is applied using [git-apply|https://git-scm.com/docs/git-apply] or other tool.
