Hello, I wanted to create a patch that added a folder, a sub-folder in the folder and a file in the sub-folder. I also had other files that had been changed but did not want to include them in the patch. In the Create Patch dialog, I deselected all the files and folders and re-ticked the two folders and the file. The patch file that was created contained three identical copies of the file addition rather than one file addition and two folders additions. The patch subsequently failed when someone else tried to apply it (using different SVN software) giving two messages saying the patch had already been applied. This looks like a bug to me. If I don't tick the folders, the patch just contains a single file addition, so I do have a workaround.

Regards,
Mike
