Teach "git apply" to prepend a prefix with "--root=<root>"
With "git apply --root=<root>", all file names in the patch are prepended with <root>. If a "-p" value was given, the paths are stripped _before_ prepending <root>. Wished for by HPA. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
