I don't recall a previous report of this, and I can reproduce it with trunk: % $svn patch 1 subversion/svn/patch-cmd.c:91: (apr_err=2) subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:2987: (apr_err=2) subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:2892: (apr_err=2) subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:1915: (apr_err=2) subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c:919: (apr_err=2) subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:3193: (apr_err=2) svn: E000002: Can't open file '/home/danielsh/src/svn/t1/wc/iota': No such file or directory zsh: exit 1 $svn patch 1 (where the patch changes "link foo" to "link bar" in the file ^/iota) > Regards, > Marc Schlinger > > > > >
