I first assumed you are on the branch 5.1 and so I tried to apply the patches and failed, so I tried to find any differences between the two branches and ... found none. Going a bit deeper that road I looked at the file LICENSE:README itself, it has line endings as know from DOS/Windows. > $ file LICENSE.README > LICENSE.README: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators So I tried 'git am --keep-cr' but this isn't also not working. If I convert the file into the unix format by dos2unix and commit the modifications I can apply the the first patch without complains by git. So I see two options, you ignore the first patch and modify the file by yourself. The patch is just adding two lines. If you want to safe the original author you can use the option '--author=' to do so. I do this quite often. Or you convert the whole file into the unix line ending format and apply the patches then on top of that. The converting of the line endings will mostly destroy the file history, OTOH it's a small file and history is not really important here. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
