'/path/to/wc' is not a working copy on ApplyPatch

[Christopher Key <cj...@cam.ac.uk>]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this a TSVN or SVN issue.  I've received a patch file which 
I'm trying to apply to a working copy.  Whenever I try to view the changes, 
I get the message '/path/to/wc' is not a working copy, where 'path/to/wc' is 
presumably the location that the author of the patch had his working copy. 
Now, if I go into the patch file and change all three absolute paths to 
point to my WC, the patch applies just fine, but it strikes me that this 
really isn't necessary.

Subversion does not contain any feature to apply outside patches. If  
TortoiseSVN does, then you'll have to ask them how to work it. On  
Unix, you would use the regular "patch" program, and "man patch" will  
tell you how to manipulate the paths within the patch file so it  
applies to your source (usually the -p option).
