Question

I know if some files are checked out (modified) then I could right click on containing folder, then select “create patch”. After then I will see list of all checked out files. So I could include them in the patch.
But when no file is checked out, aka everything is committed, create patch window is empty. So the question is how can I create patch from checked-in files? I want to send this patch to colleagues so they can apply them on company svn server.

thanks,

A unified diff is a patch file.

1. Using TortoiseSVN, right-click on your working folder and select “Show Log”
2. Select the two revisions (Ctrl-Click)
3. Right-click on either of the highlighted revisions and select “Show differences as unified diff”

To save the changed files with the folder structure.

1. Using TortoiseSVN, right-click on your working folder and select “Show Log”
2. Select the two revisions (Ctrl-Click)
3. Select “Compare revisions.” This would list the modified files between the revisions in a dialog box
4. Select all the files in the dialog that comes up. Right-click on the selected files and select “Export selection to…”

This should export the modified files with the folder structure.
