Hi,
I was trying to create and submit a patch for Derby but I'm having a
hard time using subversion.
In the directory where I checked out subversion, I did the following:
1. svn update
2. svn diff > DerbyPatch.patch
Once I have the patch file, I checked out a fresh copy and tried to
apply the patch using the patch utility.
However, I get an error saying patch cannot find a file, which the file
exists.
The exact message is like:
can't find file to patch at input line 1557
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:

Am I missing something? Any help will be greatly appriciated.
