As noted in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29623, svn-apply fails when a patch has an entry for a new, empty file.
*** Bug 38801 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
svn-apply failed to apply <https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=92978> (bug #59930). Notice this patch removes the empty file, LayoutTests/fast/dom/resources/articles.m4a.
The patch from Eric Carlson in Bug 29623 is an svn patch: Index: LayoutTests/media/content/empty.oga =================================================================== Index: LayoutTests/media/content/garbage.ogv =================================================================== --- LayoutTests/media/content/garbage.ogv (revision 0) +++ LayoutTests/media/content/garbage.ogv (revision 0) @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +moov This is garbage!

I think later versions of svn have probably changed to call out the deleted file, so I'm going to use this to fix the git variant. If the svn variant still happens, we can file a new bug.
Also, it seems like the svn issue happens when adding an empty file, but the git issue happens when deleting an empty file, which are two different bugs!

Ironically, patches for adding and deleting an empty file using the svn-create-patch tool are identical, so it depends on the state of the repository (whether the file already exists or not) to decide what to do. (Note that using `svn diff` simply produces no output when deleting a empty file, though.) The patches for git give a "new file" or "deleted file" hint, so they should never be ambiguous.

And we found a bug in the style-queue as well when you post a patch that just adds an empty file. :)
Created attachment 341403 [details] svn rename empty file
Created attachment 341404 [details] git rename empty file
Comment on attachment 341401 [details] git add empty file The success of applying this patch on the EWS bots is a false-positive. The patch isn't actually added to the repository; it's ignored!
Created attachment 341417 [details] Patch v1
(In reply to David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) from comment #16) > Created attachment 341417 [details] > Patch v1 The irony here is that the empty "resources/empty.txt" file will hit the "false positive" git-add-empty-file bug until this patch lands, so it will need to be landed manually.
Comment on attachment 341417 [details] Patch v1 View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=341417&action=review > Tools/ChangeLog:14 > + Prior to this change, applying the following patches resulted in: > + - svn: add empty file (failure) > + - svn: delete empty file (failure) > + - svn: rename empty file (failure) > + - git: add empty file (false-positive success) > + - git: delete empty file (success) > + - git: rename empty file (failure) I should note that the "rename empty file" cases started working once the "delete empty file" cases were fixed because a "rename" is the same as a "copy" followed by a "delete", and copying an empty file worked just fine.
