How to Make and Apply Svn Patch

How to make and apply SVN patch?

By default, patch ignores the directory portion of the target filename; it's just looking for "httpd.conf" in your current working directory. If you want it to use the full path, you have to explicitly ask it to do so with the -p option:

patch -p 0 < httpd.patch

The number after -p is how many levels to remove from the filename path; -p N strips off everything up to and including slash number N. The first slash is number 1, so -p 0 means "don't strip anything".

In general, you might be better off not relying on having the full path in the patch file, though; the patch will be more generally useful if it works even for files in a different directory layout. You can always cd into the directory containing the file before running patch (and use a full path to find the patch file itself, if needed, instead).

apply svn patch to git repository

I've had a few issues applying SVN generated patches with git. I'd recommend applying any subversion patches directly with patch command, and use git to verify that said patch was successfully applied.

$ patch -p0 < xxx_parser.patch
$ git diff

how to apply patch generated with diff linux command on svn repo

$ svn help patch

patch: Apply a patch to a working copy.

usage: patch PATCHFILE [WCPATH]

Apply a unidiff patch in PATCHFILE to the working copy WCPATH.
If WCPATH is omitted, '.' is assumed.

A unidiff patch suitable for application to a working copy can be
produced with the svn diff command or third-party diffing tools.
Any non-unidiff content of PATCHFILE is ignored, except for Subversion
property diffs as produced by svn diff.

SVN create patch from committed code?

If you know commit number, then use

svn diff -c N path

Where N is commit number and path is path to your working copy.

Create SVN patch after commit

Show Log, select the revisions, right-click, "show unified diff".
