Problem with creating patches since switch to Subversion

Hi developers,

I've just been experiencing an annoying problem which occurred when
switching to Subversion. When creating a patch via "Team..Create
Patch", the absolute path is used!

When using CVS one was given the option to select whether to use
absolute or relative paths.

I haven't found anything useful on this via Google, maybe someone
here knows a solution?

Regards,
 Florian

It's not a problem - all you need to do when applying the patch is to  
say "ignore N leading path segments".  We've many times received  
patches with absolute paths before - many people who use manual diff  
tools tend to create them.

No worries :-)
