You don't pipe (|) to an output file, you redirect (>). Pipes
'connect' the output of one program to the input of another, so you
were trying to run the output from svn diff into a program patch1.
You want > instead of | ("svn diff > patch1") to that you redirect the
output to a file and not a program.
