Description

after HADOOP-12018, git apply supported with --no-prefix.

But for some patches this detection will identify git patch with prefix as no-prefix patch and fails to apply.

Example case is ; If patch contains a line changed with '+++' or '---' somewhere in between. May be a javadoc update. This makes detection wrong and git apply will fail.
