If I have a diff that has paths like these: --- a/b/foo/bar/baz.pl +++ c/foo/bar/baz.pl Is there a way to tell the patch utility that the diff roots are at different levels? i.e. -p2 for one, yet -p1 for the other. Or is there any alternative utility that will patch in such a case? ...

Now given the label, I need to find out the diff between the 213232 and 939023. I mean I need a way to generate a diff of any commit whose label i...

EDIT: Primarily, talking about code written in C. Someone sends me a diff to review and I know I can take the "before" code, apply the diff (patch) to get proposed "after" code, and open both, pair of files by pair of files, in a difference viewer (e.g. WinMerge, Araxis Merge, etc.) to review the change. On the other hand, if I want to...
Say I make an .exe file and everything is peachy. Wonderful it works. Say I worked on a new feature on the software and I want it to be available for people who already have the older version, how can I make the software find my new version, patch it, and then go about it's business. I can't seem to wrap my head around the issue. Than...
I've used the Create Patch facility in Eclipse to create patches for uncommitted changes. I'm looking for a way to create patches in Eclipse for changes that have already been committed to the VCS. Unless I've missed something I don't think this is possible, but is there a plugin that adds this capability? e.g. enabling you to select tw...

We use subversion and during every check-in, a script creates a patch file with all the diff. Now for the same issue/defect there could be multiple check-ins and we end up with multiple patch files. Now to see consolidated changes for an issue all the patch files have to be merged. Is there a way to do that? Or another way to solve the ...
Personally, I use the word "patch" as the software equivalent of a symptomatic treatment, which makes a patch a quick-and-dirty bugfix. However, I'm not sure this is correct, because I often see it is used in other meanings, for example as a synonym of a program update. What does the word "patch" mean exactly? Update: I think terminol...
In CVS, my working copy (WC) is on a certain branch (which we'll call "foo"). There have been other changes checked into foo by another dev. I want to do a diff between my WC and the upstream state of foo. Normally, when working in the trunk (HEAD), I just do a cvs diff, and that's fine. But for some reason when doing a plain cvs dif...
I've got a file and a patch for it. I'd like to visually apply the patch, t.i. see how the changes proposed by the patch look in context, make some corrections, and save the resulting file. What tool can do that? Neither of the visual diff tools (i.e. meld, diffuse, diffmerge) do what I want: they don't work with patches, they merely m...

I have a CVS tree with some modified files and some new/added. I use: cvs -q -x diff -u To generate a patch that lists all the changes. However, it lacks the newly added files.
