Thanks Paul, In fact TortoiseSVN does the Add for you automatically when you path "undpecified" files. But it later shows confusing warnings, plus it fails to apply the patch that it(self) created, I decided to stop using it. For the benefit of others, here is what finally works for me on Windows, not only for modifying existing files but also for adding filed and directories: - install cygwin (one time ssetup), including its svn and patch pacakages. - checkout Lucene sources within cygwin shell using its svn (current version is 1.3.2). svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk - ... work the code... - svn status - to see what have changed - svn add file/dir - for adding to my local svn repository the new files and directories (that I created) - svn patch > patchFile.patch And, for applying the patch, again from cygwin shell: - patch -p0 -i patchFile.patch The -p0 was also something that I was missing.
