Hi,

Here is a break down of a problem I currently face: I create a patch
from the last two commits, reset to two versions before and apply the
patch. I tried to do the same on a new git repository and it does work
with the same sequence of commands. But on my submodule I get the
following error:

$ git format-patch -2 --stdout >p
$ git reset --hard HEAD^^
HEAD is now at 8cf5aef Renamed README to show in restructured text
format
$ cat  p|git am -3

Did you hand edit your patch?
It does not apply to blobs recorded in its index.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0001 multiline commit message 2
When you have resolved this problem run "git am -3 --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am -3 --
skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am -3 --
abort".

If I omit information it is for brefity and readability. The patch is
pretty long, but if you think it is important I will post it. Can you
tell me why the patch cannot be applied?

Thanks,
Johannes
