Can I create a patch for unversioned files with Tortoise SVN?

Question

I'd like to create a patch reflecting changes to an unversioned file. I have both "before change" and "after change" versions and Tortoise Diff is happy to compare them. Can I also make a patch reflecting those changes with Tortoise SVN?

Answer 1

I have TortoiseSVN installed and ff I select to unversioned files, I can select Diff from the context menu. This open WinMerge, where I can choose "Tools"->"Generate Patch" to create a Diff-file.

Update: Just tested without WinMerge. If you choose two files, Diff open TortoiseMerge, where you can choose "Edit"->"Create unified diff file".

Answer 2

1. In Windows Explorer right click on your svn working copy directory.
2. Select TortoiseSvn -> Create Patch.
3. Select 'Show Unversioned Files' checkbox.
4. Select the files to include and press OK.

(this was with TortoiseSVN 1.6.5, Build 16974 - 32 Bit)
