I'm not having a great deal of success here. I have checked out svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/oorexx/code-0/docs to c:\ooRexxSVNDocs\ on my Windows laptop Within that folder I can see the tree that matches what is in the top of the patch Following my instructions from TortoiseSVN 1.7 Beginners guide (admittedly rather back-level, but it is what I have) I place the patch in the [C:\ooRexxSVNDocs\trunk\rexxref\en-US] folder where the checked out intro.xml resides I right click on the patch and select TortoiseSVN \ Apply patch As expected, the TortoiseMerge Window opens, but instead of showing me a diff I get an error message Path found that matches the patch better. The path C:\oorexxSVNDocs\trunk\rexxref\en-us seems not to match the paths in the patch-file. But TortoiseMerge found the path C:\ooRexxSVNDocs matches it better. Do you want to use the suggested path instead? Whichever option I choose, I just see an empty diff.
I then tried editing the patch so that it had the absolute windows path instead of the path relative to main. This time I got no error message, but still an empty diff I tried placing the diff file in c:\ooRexxDocsSVN - still an empty diff after refering to [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11940172/tortoisesvn-apply-patch-error] I tried editing the patch to remove the path from the Index line and the --- and +++ lines. Still an empty diff. That's as far as I can get. I'm passing this one back. Jon thanks, Jon On Thu, 23 Oct 2025 at 14:10, Rony G.
