Julian Foad commented on SVN-4763:
----------------------------------
Two tests would make sense:
1. test that "svn patch" can correctly parse and apply the present form of
input where there is no dot
2. test that the round-trip of "svn diff" followed by "svn patch" works
> can't "svn patch" working copy root if the patch is in --git format

> Thread "[PATCH] can't "svn patch" working copy root if the patch is in --git
> format" on dev@, 2018-07-09, by Dmitry Pavlenko, archived at
> [lists.apache.org|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/d1d9811ca36fac8cabb9339634840099e22811beac505be2ea59f19f@%3Cdev.subversion.apache.org%3E]
> Note that the patch looks like:
> {quote}Index: /tmp/wc
> ===================================================================
> diff --git a/ b/
> — a/ (revision 0)
> +++ b/ (working copy)
> Property changes on:
> [...]
> {quote}
> Main points:
> * The provided patch makes "svn patch" accept that patch
> * "svn diff" should also show a dot for the path: "Property changes on: ."
> * Maybe "svn diff" should say "diff --git a/. b/." for consistency (other
> directory paths printed there do not end with a slash) and clarity.
