git expects an empty line after the binary data:
literal X
...binary data...
<empty_line>
The last literal block of the generated patches were not containing the required empty line. Example:
diff --git a/binary_file b/binary_file
index 3f1b3f9098131cfecea4a50ff8afab349ea66d22..86e5c1008b5ce635d3e3fffa4434c5eccd8f00b6 100644

git apply of that diff results in:
error: corrupt binary patch at line 9: diff --git a/binary_file2 b/binary_file2
fatal: patch with only garbage at line 10
The proper formating is:

Check that the repository directory is beneath the workdir before
adding it to the list of reserved paths. If it is not, then there
is no possibility of checking out files into it, and it should not
be a reserved word.
This is a particular problem with submodules where the repo directory
may be in the super's .git directory.
When there is a comment at the end of a section, git keeps it there,
while we write the new variable right at the end.
Keep comments buffered and dump them when we're going to output a
variable or section, or reach EOF. This puts us in line with the config
files which git produces.
Don't coalesce all errors into ENOENT. At least identify EACCES.
All callers should be handling this case already, as the POSIX
`lstat` will return this.
`git_futils_mkdir` does not blindly call `git_futils_mkdir_relative`.
`git_futils_mkdir_relative` is used when you have some base directory
and want to create some path inside of it, potentially removing blocking
symlinks and files in the process. This is not suitable for a general
recursive mkdir within the filesystem.
Instead, when `mkdir` is being recursive, locate the first existent
parent directory and use that as the base for `mkdir_relative`.
Untangle git_futils_mkdir from git_futils_mkdir_ext - the latter
assumes that we own everything beneath the base, as if it were
being called with a base of the repository or working directory,
and is tailored towards checkout and ensuring that there is no
bogosity beneath the base that must be cleaned up.
This is (at best) slow and (at worst) unsafe in the larger context
of a filesystem where we do not own things and cannot do things like
unlink symlinks that are in our way.
When a file exists on disk and we're checking out a file that differs
in executableness, remove the old file. This allows us to recreate the
new file with p_open, which will take the new mode into account and
handle setting the umask properly.
Remove any notion of chmod'ing existing files, since it is now handled
by the aforementioned removal and was incorrect, as it did not take
umask into account.
The canonical directory path of the root directory of a volume on
POSIX already ends in a slash (eg, `/`). This is true only at the
root. Do not add a slash to paths in this case.
The canonical directory path of the root directory of a volume on
windows already ends in a slash (eg, `c:/`). This is true only
at the volume root. Do not add a slash to paths in this case.
The previous commit left the comment referencing the earlier state of
the code, change it to explain the current logic. While here, change the
logic to avoid repeating the copy of the base pattern.
When we're not doing pathspec matching, we let the iterator handle
file matching for us. However, we can only trust the iterator to
return *files* that match the pattern, because the iterator must
return directories that are not strictly in the pathlist, but that
are the parents of files that match the pattern, so that diff can
later recurse into them.
Thus, diff must examine non-files explicitly before including them
in the delta list.
While advancing the tree iterator, if we advance over things that
we aren't interested in, then call `current`. Which may *itself*
call advance.

When searching for information about a submdoule, let's be more explicit
in what we expect to find. We currently insert a submodule into the map
and change certain parameters when the config callback gets called.
Switch to asking for the configuration we're interested in, rather than
taking it in an arbitrary order.
On case insensitive platforms, allow `git_index_add` to provide a new
path for an existing index entry. Previously, we would maintain the
case in an index entry without the ability to change it (except by
removing an entry and re-adding it.)
Higher-level functions (like `git_index_add_bypath` and
`git_index_add_frombuffers`) continue to keep the old path for easier
usage.
On case insensitive systems, when given a user-provided path in the
higher-level index addition functions (eg `git_index_add_bypath` /
`git_index_add_frombuffer`), examine the index to try to match the
given path to an existing directory.
Various mechanisms can cause the on-disk representation of a folder
to not match the representation in HEAD or the index - for example,
a case changing rename of some file `a/file.txt` to `A/file.txt`
will update the paths in the index, but not rename the folder on
disk.
If a user subsequently adds `a/other.txt`, then this should be stored
in the index as `A/other.txt`.
We create a lockfile to update files under GIT_DIR. Sometimes these
files are actually located elsewhere and a symlink takes their place. In
that case we should lock and update the file at its final location
rather than overwrite the symlink.
Some nicer refactoring for index iteration walks.
The index iterator doesn't binary search through the pathlist space,
since it lacks directory entries, and would have to binary search
each index entry and all its parents (eg, when presented with an index
entry of `foo/bar/file.c`, you would have to look in the pathlist for
`foo/bar/file.c`, `foo/bar` and `foo`). Since the index entries and the
pathlist are both nicely sorted, we walk the index entries in lockstep
with the pathlist like we do for other iteration/diff/merge walks.
When using literal pathspecs in diff with `GIT_DIFF_DISABLE_PATHSPEC_MATCH`
turn on the faster iterator pathlist handling.
Updates iterator pathspecs to include directory prefixes (eg, `foo/`)
for compatibility with `GIT_DIFF_DISABLE_PATHSPEC_MATCH`.
When given a pathlist, don't assume that directories sort before
files. Walk through any list of entries sorting before us to make
sure that we've exhausted all entries that *aren't* directories.
Eg, if we're searching for 'foo/bar', and we have a 'foo.c', keep
advancing the pathlist to keep looking for an entry prefixed with
'foo/'.
