Create SVN patch after commit

Question

Is it possible to retrospectively create a patch? The Tortoise SVN client that we use gives us the opportunity to create a patch instead of (or during) a commit.

I would like to work on the fix using the trunk, check it, and start the servers of all my tests and indicators to confirm that the fix is ​​acceptable. Then I would like to select several versions (if the first attempt to fix this only made us partially move) and create a patch file from files that have changed.

Then I can take the patch and apply it to several other branches. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Show log, select changes, right-click, "show unified diff".

Answer 2

If you have problems with paths, you can show diff for each file separately

Answer 3

You can also use WinMerge for Windows if you want to compare two files from different branches:

• Check each branch
• Check two files to compare.
• Compare via WinMerge
• Then click "Tools" → "Create Patch"

To this, you can create a patch for already committed files from different branches.
