Problem/Motivation

Problem:
* Composer workflow with subtree split of project (e.g. drupal core directory)
* Patch workflow e.g. managed by https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches
* Want to apply a patch from the project that has parts inside and outside the subtree
(If it's only inside the subtree we cann still use patch -p2.)

Proposed resolution

In an ideal world we could tell git-apply or patch to just use the subtree. It looks like there is no such option.
Autogererate subtree splits of patches in some way.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

(I attach the subtree split of it just that it has a home.)

Title: Find a way to apply (partly) apply patches to subtree splits » Find a way to partly apply patches to subtree splits

Here's a sed recipe to massage a patch before applying. Implementing something like this looks like the way to go.

Note: there seems to be diff parse code in core.

I'd be happy to add this functionality to cweagans/composer-patches if you happen to find a good way to do it. Not sure why this issue is open in the d.o infrastructure queue though.

This does not seem to be an infra issue.
