Darn you were fast!
You might want to apply the rest of the attached format-patch,
as it makes things clearer, more maintainable, and shorter.

The test on 9.6.3 is now fine so I will release after 2.8.1
became stable

Sure, but your patch doesn't apply cleanly.  Care to check?

Refreshed, retried, reattached - not seeing any differences.
Care to give me hint to get a clean format-patch of a changed file against your
master?
My approach tends to be scorched earth: rm -rf repo && git clone repo!

Weird.  See below.

`git pull' should suffice...

git am fails because your patch has still the already applied first
hunk.  If you remove that, and ideally change the subject to match
what the remaining parts of the patch are doing, it should fly.

Thanks for your patience.
Recloned, recopied from my original, reformated patch attached: hashbang changed
as this script only needs {da,}sh.
Is there an option so git will download your updated source, reject my patched
source in place, and not just overwrite it?

Assuming you have remotes in place,

git fetch --all
git checkout -B your-fix-branch origin/master

.. make your changes ...

git format-patch origin/master

Thanks Andrey,
I forget about branches, being used to DIY with only mainline changes. Sometimes
I had to beg for access to use source control, or download and install RCS, CVS,
Hg to use myself where policy did not disallow that.
Even where source control was used, it was often either the MS product or CVS
with tags, nothing more modern was supported.
I know some large corps rely on FS logs/journals or snapshots, where source
control lags cloud adoption and use.

Good advice.  Git always has multiple ways to do stuff, but this
is a pretty condensed one.

Personally I'm using a slower variation motst of the time:

  $ git checkout master
  $ git pull
  $ git checkout -b my-patch-branch
  [hack, hack, hack]
  $ git commit
  $ git format-patch -1

If the hacking takes longer I want to update my branch to the latest
upstream master:

  $ git checkout master
  $ git pull
  $ git checkout my-patch-branch
  $ git rebase [-i] master
  [more hacking]
  [...]

It's not the quickest way to handle stuff, but it's a massive
progress from CVS...

Thanks - I'll save those hints for git workflow and use in future.

Nearly always forget the branch part: gotta retrain my fingers
to add the appropriate branch commands for the source control
products I use, and do more granular commits instead of big bangs.

Even your slower variation is still faster than simple ops were
on smaller CVS repos, and more reliable from reports, although
I never had any local or remote corruption problems with CVS.

The thing to remember is that with git you can just as easily create the
branch when you are about to commit your first change or even
retroactively.

Thanks for that tip Achim, it may make it easier to remember
to branch before add, stage, or commit.
I don't even want to know about retroactively ;^>
I need to train to do it initially.
