    .
    
    Since that commit, patman generates useless patches for file removal;
    "git format -D" prints only the header but not the diff when deleting
    files, and "git am" always refuses such patches.
    
    The following is the quotation from "man git-format-patch":
    
      -D, --irreversible-delete
        Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but
        not the diff between the preimage and /dev/null. The resulting
        patch is not meant to be applied with patch nor git apply; this
        is solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing
        the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously
        lack enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even
        manually, hence the name of the option.
