The preferred form is a diff -u as a text attachment. svn diff is basically diff -u, but has the advantage of telling us exactly what version was diff-ed against.

But for something as simple as this, inline is fine, thanks.

[The main reason for wanting an attachment is that once lines get wrapped or tabs expanded, the noise can far exceed the signal.]

Dear list,

There is, I believe, a minor typo in the example section of
influence.measures.Rd. In the final example the word `does` appears
where I suspect `dose` is required:

I couldn't remember exactly what format patches should be in, so here is
one as diff would produce:

Index: devel/src/library/stats/man/influence.measures.Rd

< yi <- c(0,2,14,19,30) # number of mice responding to does xi
---
yi <- c(0,2,14,19,30) # number of mice responding to dose xi

#######
and this version is provided by svn diff:

Index: devel/src/library/stats/man/influence.measures.Rd

Both are against the R svn trunk, r54122, and are attached, but may not
make it through the mailing list filters.

All the best,

Gavin
