Hi Einar
Thanks for your help. I realised part of my mistake and worked it out.
This is what happens now:-
/>Einar said
>Save attachment from Marks's mail into your cinerella-cv directory
>(filename sowt.diff)/
The file is saved as sowt.diff in cinelerra-cv absolutely as it appears
in the archive from Mark.
The file begins :-
--0023545bd7586f7774048a186f54
Content-Type: text/x-patch; charset=US-ASCII; name="sowt.diff"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sowt.diff"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
X-Attachment-Id: f_gazf81lv0

(All my permissions for the file are the same as the others in cinelerra-cv)

Here is my terminal output:-
m...@my-pc:~$ cd cinelerra-cv
m...@my-pc:~/cinelerra-cv$ git checkout Makefile.am
m...@my-pc:~/cinelerra-cv$ patch p1 <sowt.diff
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
m...@my-pc:~/cinelerra-cv$
So I am still not understanding. I am so sorry.
