svn diff should allow patching

Hi all,

Just as *svn diff > blah.diff* creates a patch file, *svn diff <
blah.diff*should apply
blah.diff to the repository. This will stop all the headache about finding
the right tool to apply a patch locally.

Hope you will obligue,

Huji

This tool?

rhornsby@tinman:~$ which patch
/usr/bin/patch

As I understand svn's model, changes are never applied directly to the
repository.  They are applied to your WC and then committed to the repo.
