It was compiled using the MSYS framework. + +The binaries originate from the "Git for Windows 1.9.5" package +(https://msysgit.github.io/). The build instructions have been +provided on the discussion group of Git for Windows [1]. They are +copied/pasted below for reference. + + + +================ +UPSTREAM PROJECT +================ + +URL to the upstream project: +http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/patch/ + +License of patch: GPLv2 (GNU General Public License v2) + +Copyright (C) 1988 Larry Wall "with lots o' patches by Paul Eggert" +Copyright (C) 1997 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + + + +====================== +BUILD INSTRUCTIONS [1] +====================== + +The easiest way to find out about this is to install the Git SDK, then +run + + pacman -Qu $(which patch.exe) + +to find out which package contains the `patch.exe` binary. It so happens +to be patch.2.7.5-1 at the moment. Since this is an MSys2 package (not a +MinGW one, otherwise the patch utility would be in /mingw64/bin/, not +/usr/bin/), this package is built from the recipes in + + https://github.com/msys2/MSYS2-packages + +The `patch` package is obviously built from the subdirectory + + https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/tree/master/patch + +and the PKGBUILD file specifies that the source is fetched from +ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.7.5.tar.xz: + +https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/PKGBUILD#L14 + +and then these two patches are applied before building: + +https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/msys2-patch-2.7.1.patch + +and + +https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/900744becd072f687029b0f830ab6fe95cf533d6/patch/msys2-patch-manifest.patch + +As you can see, some light changes are applied, i.e. `patch.exe` will +always write in binary mode with MSys2, and the executable will have a +manifest embedded that allows it to run as non-administrator. + +Ciao, +Johannes Schindelin + + +[1] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/git-for-windows/xWyVr4z6Ri0/6RKeV028EAAJ
