Create Patch (standard format) from History view creates patch relative to a project [message #658174]

Hi,

I want to create a patch in standard format (not git format) from a
local commit, then I create one from the history view by taking the last
local commit (a commit recording changes from several workspace
projects). The generated patch has path relative to project then I can't
apply it to a svn working copy (for example). While with the svn team
provider we have a option to create/apply a patch to a specific project
or to the whole workspace.
It is a know problem or a mistake of my part?

Regards.

Hi Esteban,

this is a missing feature in EGit. There was not much focus on patch support
in EGit so far. A reason could be that the EGit development itself does not
use patch files and therefore the developers are not familiar with the most
common use cases.

It would be very helpful if you could open a bug at
https://bugs.eclipse.org

Thanks and Regards,
Stefan

The git format patches generated by todays EGit don't use any extensions
and work with any decent patch tool I know of. Sometimes you have to
tell the tool to drop one level of directoris (the a/ b/ part), some
figure it out. I'm not sure about SVN, but the default patch tool in
Eclipse works.
