Description

Thread "[PATCH] can't "svn patch" working copy root if the patch is in --git format" on dev@, 2018-07-09, by Dmitry Pavlenko, archived at lists.apache.org

Note that the patch looks like:

Index: /tmp/wc
===================================================================
diff --git a/ b/
— a/ (revision 0)
+++ b/ (working copy)

Property changes on:
[...]

Main points:

• The provided patch makes "svn patch" accept that patch
• "svn diff" should also show a dot for the path: "Property changes on: ."
• Maybe "svn diff" should say "diff --git a/. b/." for consistency (other directory paths printed there do not end with a slash) and clarity.
