This is only academia anyway.
No, they are never equivalent; -p1 strips everything up to and including the first slash from every pathname, -p0 doesn't. You *always* need to use one of -p0 and -p1 fwiw. > Please send patches generated from the root of the svn tree; the > LinuxBIOSv2 or v3 subdirectory. Sounds advice. For some reason "svn diff" seems to generate -p0 style patches; every sane tool in the world uses -p1. Oh who cares, either style is trivial to deal with.
