Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-10926:
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks, Andrew. I'm going to wait until later tonight to commit this.
Hopefully I can commit at a time when not many people are submitting patches.
I will also run some sample builds at that time (with and without prefix, with
and without git), to verify that everything is working as expected.

> The Unix {{patch}} command cannot apply binary diffs as generated via {{git
> diff --binary}}. This means we cannot get effective test-patch.sh runs when
> the patch requires adding a binary file.
> We should consider using a different patch method.
