--allow-binary-replacement, --binary::
- When applying a patch, which is a git-enhanced patch
- that was prepared to record the pre- and post-image object
- name in full, and the path being patched exactly matches
- the object the patch applies to (i.e. "index" line's
- pre-image object name is what is in the working tree),
- and the post-image object is available in the object
- database, use the post-image object as the patch
- result. This allows binary files to be patched in a
- very limited way.
+ Historically we did not allow binary patch applied
+ without an explicit permission from the user, and this
+ flag was the way to do so. Currently we always allow binary
+ patch application, so this is a no-op.
--exclude=<path-pattern>::
Don't apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can
