I've found that git apply is incapable of handling patches
involving object type changes to the same path.

Of course git itself is perfectly capable of making commits that
generate these changes, as it only tracks trees states.  It's
just that the diffs between them are less useful if they can't
be applied.

Some of these are rare, but I've hit one of them (file becoming
a symlink) recently in real-world usage, and was inspired to
find more potential breakages :)
