I saw this as well a while ago, discussed as part of another thread in
tortoisesvn-dev https://groups.google.com/g/tortoisesvn-dev/c/aw32jamqpCw
TLDR; it would probably be a nice improvement to TortoiseProc to base the
patches in the root of the working copy but no-one has looked at it since
TortoiseMerge usually works out finding the correct file to patch. Anyone
looking for a summer project would be welcome to fix this.
Kind regards,
Daniel
