When I give ediff the following patch file:
---cut here---
diff -Nur '--exclude=*.patch' '--exclude=*.[158]' '--exclude=configure' '--exclude=.git' at/.gitignore at-rrt/.gitignore
--- at/.gitignore 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100

---cut here---
ediff says:
Ediff has inferred that
/home/rrt/repo/at/.gitignore
is assumed to be the target for this patch. However, this file does not exist.
ediff is quite correct about the target for the patch, but of
course it doesn’t exist, it’s a file that is created by the patch.
However, I can’t see how to make ediff create the file. It seems to
require me to give it an existing file to patch.

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)
What command are you referring to when you say "When I give ediff the
following patch file"?

Thanks. I can reproduce the bug in Emacs 28, and an easy fix seems to
be to have ediff offer to create the file first -- that way we can apply
the patch without changing any of the rest of the machinery. So I've
now done this on the trunk, even though it may be slightly on the chatty
side.
