DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads supplied 'diff' output and applies it on a git index file
and a work tree.
Reads the supplied diff output (i.e. "a patch") and applies it to files.
With the `--index` option the patch is also applied to the index, and
with the `--cache` option the patch is only applied to the index.
Without these options, the command applies the patch only to files,
and does not require them to be in a git repository.
