---show-files::
-	Show summary of files that are affected by the patch.
+--index-info::
+	Newer git-diff output has embedded 'index information'

+	the original version of the blob is available locally,

+--no-add::
+	When applying a patch, ignore additions made by the
+	patch.  This can be used to extract common part between
+	two files by first running `diff` on them and applying
+	the result with this option, which would apply the
+	deletion part but not addition part.

+--allow-binary-replacement::
+	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

+	database, use the post-image object as the patch
+	result.  This allows binary files to be patched in a
+	very limited way.
+
+--whitespace=<option>::
+	When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line
+	that ends with trailing whitespaces (this includes a
+	line that solely consists of whitespaces).  By default,
+	the command outputs warning messages and applies the
+	patch.
+	When `git-apply` is used for statistics and not applying a
+	patch, it defaults to `nowarn`.
+	You can use different `<option>` to control this
+	behaviour:
++
+* `nowarn` turns off the trailing whitespace warning.
+* `warn` outputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the
+  patch (default).
+* `error` outputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses
+  to apply the patch.
+* `error-all` is similar to `error` but shows all errors.
+* `strip` outputs warnings for a few such errors, strips out the
+  trailing whitespaces and applies the patch.

+Configuration
+-------------

+apply.whitespace::
+	When no `--whitespace` flag is given from the command
+	line, this configuration item is used as the default.
