I wanted to download my patch in comment 15 of http://gcc.gnu.org/PR2972#c15
So I clicked on the attachment link, and I get the patch viewer, showing me a coloured, side-by-side diff. Very pretty, but no use if I want to download it to apply it to the GCC source. So I clicked on the "Raw Unified" link above the side-by-side view. That doesn't give me the original patch, it gives me some mangled version. The original had these headers: --- c-family/c.opt.orig 2010-11-10 23:23:15.000000000 +0000 +++ c-family/c.opt 2010-12-03 17:08:06.932923281 +0000 But the text I get from the "Raw Unified" link has this header: --- c-family/c.opt.orig 2010-11-10 23:23:15.000000000 +0000 +++ c-family/c.opt.orig 2010-12-03 17:08:06.932923281 +0000 Notice how both filenames now have the .orig suffix, which means the patch won't apply to the GCC source because that file doesn't exist. Why can't I just download my patch, in the same form I uploaded it? I uploaded a working patch, why does Bugzilla think I need its help to improve it? I can go to the [details] link and copy and paste the patch, but I'm not sure if that would correctly preserve tabs in the source, and it shouldn't be necessary anyway.
