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?

I have TortoiseSVN installed and if I select to show unversioned files, I can select Diff from the context menu. This will 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”.
