Hello!

Say I'm having a repo with the following structure: /a/1, where a is folder 
and 1 is file in this folder. If I edit file "1" and create a patch from 
the top of my repo, it will contain no relative path mentioning "a" folder":
Index: 1
===================================================================
--- 1    (revision 123)
+++ 1    (working copy)
// changes here

This causes guessing when applying the patch. Obviously guessing is not 
always working right in non-trivial repository. When I edit Makefile in 
some subfolder and do nothing else, my patch doesn't contain any clue about 
what Makefile exactly should be patched. Sadly, this is a long-standing 
problem for me and my collegues with TortoiseSVN.

If repo would also contain file /2 and I would edit it too, then patch 
would look different (like I would like to see it): I would get "a/1" 
instead of just "1" and guessing would work much better on applying. 

Can I always create a patch with relative paths ("a/1" instead of "1") via 
TortoiseSVN? Is there any option that enables this behavior?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards, Ivan
