Unable to parse diff revision header 'non existent' in tortoise svn?

Question

Created a svn patch with the folder and then applied the base directory and the path file in the review board. It shows that it is unable to parse diff revision header 'non existent' in review board.

Answer 1

I believe this is a change in tortoise SVN 1.9.x path output used to use (revision 0) to indicate files that didn't exist. 1.9.1+ now uses (nonexistent)

1.9.1+ (maybe earlier, only checked 1.9.1 and 1.9.2)

--- BuildIni/Delphi-2007_2600_S3LogUploader.ini (nonexistent) +++ BuildIni/Delphi-2007_2600_S3LogUploader.ini (working copy)

1.8.9

--- BuildIni/Delphi-2007_2600_S3LogUploader.ini (revision 0) +++ BuildIni/Delphi-2007_2600_S3LogUploader.ini (working copy)

This breaks import of patch files into Review Board (2.0.6 at least) and probably other tools.

It's easy to work around, simply search for nonexistent and replace with revision 0, at least that worked for me.
