What happens if a user forgets to supply the new option? (Does svn complain that 'foo.c.new is nonexistent/unversioned'?) For case (2): suppose I have such a patch (was emailed to me). I applied it using 'svn patch $patchfile'. Now I want to unapply it; so so I use 'svn patch --rd $patchfile' or 'svn patch --rd --optn $patchfile'? AIUI, currently only the latter will work? Is the UI "'svn patch' always uses the filename in the /^+++/ line"?
