Description

The web UI which internally calls _diffpatch API works as expected and can take multiple file patches at once but the exposed API requires SHA, when we normally talk abou the patch, it is not necessary to only update one file at a time, we can do multiple as we can do in the web API.

The API also works like web, the API document is wrong. A copy-paste error from "Add apply-patch, basic revert and cherry-pick functionality (#17902)"

It should be ApplyDiffPatchFileOptions, then no SHA is required.

As a workaround, you can just ignore the sha field, and provide "content" field, manually.

type ApplyDiffPatchFileOptions struct {
	FileOptions
	// required: true
	Content string `json:"content"`
}
