The problem with GIT patches is missing metadata. If you don't use the UNIX standard "patch" command (which works of course with both SVN and GIT patches), the SVN patches also contain the SVN revision number that was diffed against. SVN 1.7-based tools like command line, Eclipse, or TortoiseSVN (which I use) use this revision number to: - check out the revision from the patch file metadata - patch it - svn up the file to the current working copy version (usually HEAD). This will actually merge the changes in and it will also bring up the standard merge tools (3way-merge...). Without that metadata, as a SVN-only committer (die, git, die *g*), I have no chance to find out the version a patch was diffed against. Also my tools cannot automate, I have to manually go back to previous revisions and then apply using the standard unix "patch -p1" (to get rid of the crazy a/b path prefix, also not existent in the SVN diffs). After that I must take care to not forget to add files, adjust svn props because only stock "svn patch" command can do this for me.
