Tell a friend:

Quickly create a patch for a single file edit using “svn diff” and then review the word wrapped command line noticing you forgot the file redirect operator “>” in the command so let’s put it in the first blank spot your eyes detect after the word “diff”…

svn diff my/complicated/path/to/the
/single/file.m > my-last-minute.patch

Becomes:

svn diff > my/complicated/path/to/the
/single/file.m > my-last-minute.patch
