Support for ordinal diff patch

Hi    I contribute to the open source project Exiv2. A user sent a patch yesterday which SmartSVN did not recognize. He said it was an "ordinal diff patch" and created with the command:    $ diff -ubr exiv2.org/ exiv2.hacked/    Two obvious questions:  1) Can support for this be added to SmartSVN  2) What is the command to produce a patch when svn is not being used?    I really like SmartSVN and use it on Mac/Windows/Linux every day. Great Product.    Robin

Hi there Robin, thanks for the feedback and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.   With regard to your issue, SmartSVN does support this. It's just that SmartSVN needs to know the revision where the files were created so you'll need to use svn diff.   If svn diff doesn't work for you then can you provide us with the patch so that we can take a look?
