From: Kelly Yancey To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: gnu/19638: patch's --skip/-S option doesn't skip when target doesn't exist Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 18:06:19 -0700 (PDT) -f/--force will skip files that do not exist. Arguably, the solution is to just accect the -s/--skip behaviour and use -f instead. I assert that this PR still stands as -s/--skip should skip a patch whether the file that would have been changed exists or not.
