That's not completely trivial to get right in all cases; GNU patch
only prints that line and no patch headers, so we would need to
extract the file names as well, and make sure to get patch
boundaries right.
Is the following an improvement?
--- a/src/patch.c
+++ b/src/patch.c
@@ -519,7 +519,7 @@ main (int argc, char **argv)
mismatch = true;
somefailed = true;
if (verbosity != SILENT)
- say ("File %s is not empty after patch; not deleting\n",
+ say ("Not deleting file %s as content differs from patch\n",
quotearg (outname));
}
Thanks,
Andreas
