Following your advice, I was spurred to read more about it on [1], which says: > The resulting patch is not meant to be applied with |patch| or |git apply|; this is solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously lacks enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even manually, hence the name of the option. If I get that right, it means the --irreversible-delete option is not suited for patching Replicant code, as it would prevent from reverting the patch.. Is my understanding correct? Thank you again for helping me learn yet another bit of this piece of technical magic called Git! ;-) Cheers, Fil Reference: [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch
