Invoking 'patch' failed.

[Tim Mason-2]

Hi

I just installed Meld 1.3.0. It mostly works fine, but I get the
"invoking patch failed" error when I do "meld <filename>" when using git
as the SCM (same command works fine for CVS)

Opening the file from the meld browser (ie. "meld ." and then
double-click on the file works fine for both git and CVS

- meld version: '1.3.0'

- source control software type: 'Git'

- source control software version: 'X.Y.Z'
git version 1.6.1.1

- the output of 'git diff HEAD somefile.txt'

Reproduced, I'll look into it.
