Could you elaborate (for example, what error message do you get)? I
tried putting
[apply]
ignorewhitespace = change
in ~/.gitconfig, then ran "git format-patch -1" to get a patch to test
with, changed some whitespace, and ran "git apply -R 0001-*" to use
the patch. It seemed to work.
That said, I think that the git-config(1) manual should document that
[apply]
ignore-whitespace = change
is accepted as a backward-compatibility synonym, in the same spirit as
the documentation for add.ignoreerrors. Thanks for reporting it.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
