Hi,

I tried using diff/patch to create a patch that I will be constantly applying
against new versions downloaded via svn.

I created a patch by using diff -u -r on a folder structure which works just
fine. The diff has the relative paths in it like "folder1/file1.txt".

However, when I apply it using patch < mypatch it says it can't find the file
(although it states the correct path). Am I doing something wrong?
