That would be your problem. You canot svn diff against a file not in
SVN. Use svn add first.
Hi. Sorry, perhaps i didn't make myself clear, i've been trying to svn
diff against my modified copy of sapi_voice.vbs. I'm not trying to svn
diff against the renamed version of sapi_voice.vbs, however i can
only create the patch if i do a checkout of an unmodified copy, and
then diff between a renamed version and the unmodified version, in
other words between 2 files. if i directly try to svn diff between my
modified but not renamed sapi_voice.vbs and svn, all it does is output
the blank patches. So obviously i'd like to work out why this isn't
working, as sapi_voice.vbs is under svn control.
Please correct me if I am wrong, maybe I have got the wrong end of the
stick or something, but if you try to diff between svn and your local
modified code, using the svn diff command, is that command meant to
generate a patch by comparing your local modified code, and what is
present on the actual svn?
Thanks for your help.
Alex.
I can't think for a reason that it doesn't work for you, other than that
you are somehow in the wrong directory/point to the wrong directory.
If you didn't make any other changes to your local copy, "svn diff >
patch.diff" (without any file parameter) from the root directory of your
copy should work just fine, as it scans all controlled files recursively.
Small hint: if you omit the "> pathc.diff" part, you see the differences
in the terminal. A bit faster to see if it's working without needing to
create a file and opening it.
