From 346365d269a3da3d32bf16ce9eea98c7f03029d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2018 17:23:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] add --edit: truncate the patch file If there is already a .git/ADD_EDIT.patch file, we fail to truncate it properly, which could result in very funny errors. Let's just truncate it and not worry about it too much. Reported by J Wyman.
