facebook/react-native#12112 (comment)

I discovered that a .patch file containing the diffs exists in $TMPDIR/react-native-git-upgrade/upgrade_0.40.0_0.42.0.patch.

I took a look at this file, and sure enough, there's all my diffs.

So then I use git apply --reject and it all works fine. Working reproducible steps

  • Inside your working directory, run react-native-git-upgrade
  • Upon completion, ls $TMPDIR/react-native-git-upgrade -- you'll find your corresponding .patch file, the name will correspond to the versions you're upgrading between.
  • Inside your working directory, run git apply <path to patch> --reject
