Saving svn changes for use in another computer? or backup uncommitted svn changes

Question

Say I've made changes to some files but I don't want to check them in. I want to save the changes in a batch file or some archive and then email them to another dev/myself/etc.. so that they can take a look at my changes and apply them to their working copy. Is it possible to do this?

Simpler scenario

Can you backup uncommitted svn changes?

Answer 1

If you want to just show them the changes that they can apply, you could create a patch.

svn diff > patchfile

If you've already committed, you can create a patch between different revisions.

For example, to create a patch of changes from 341 to the last revision:

svn diff -r 341:HEAD http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk > patchfile
