Whether you use the svn command-line client or a fancy client, then you still need to make sure you know how to operate SVN properly. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ is a must. e.g. Make sure to do three things before creating the patch: * Do 'svn update' to be in sync with the repository in case someone else changed your files in SVN. * Do 'svn status' to ensure that you are not including unnecessary changes. * Do 'svn diff' to ensure that changes are what you expect. After creating the patch, open it with a text editor and review it. -David
