Lazyness. Perhaps also because patch can't handle a few SVN-specific things like tree changes or diffs in non-text files, at least not as well as SVN does. > We're not trying to replace the normal patch command.

Well, even if it doesn't know how to tell the VCS about the added file, it could at least add/delete/move the file and leave the rest to the user. I don't expect SVN to do all work for me, but if it can apply a patch to a working copy, why not to a non-working copy if the user asks for it? Yes, I can probably do the same by piping "svn diff" into "patch", but firstly I don't always have patch, secondly I can never remember its syntax and thirdly it is of limited use sometimes.
