No sure how others do it, but I would just copy the file, give it the
New name and then add it to our svn with 'svn add filename.xml' and then
Commit it. So, again no patch needed.
To copy a file in svn do "svn cp SRC_FILE DEST_FILE" this has the
advantage of keeping the SVN history for the file.

Ok Sounds good. How do you go about applying patches locally then? Suppose I'm downloading Sjurs internal.xmap patch, normally I just
Overwrite the current version with the patched version, is there a

Just apply the patches as notmal. SVN is smart enough to do the copy and modification at the same time.

You can use the command line to apply a patch to a different file if you've copied a file across. You'll have to look that one up i the docs though, I can't remember the syntax.
