Hi. I am afraid it won't work perfectly with just that. From the porters handbook we have this: "If files have been added, copied, moved, or removed, include the svn(1) add, copy, move, and remove commands that were used. svn move or svn copy must be run before the patch can be applied. svn add or svn remove must be run after the patch is applied." https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html When using `svn diff` and executing `svn copy` before applying the patch, it works fine, but it doesn't work correctly with patches that include `svn move`, unless you generate it with `svn diff --no-diff-deleted`. I had this problem a while ago. Regards. -- Danilo G. Baio (dbaio)
