| The patch is againts the master repository, not your local

|
| svk co //samba/branches/SAMBA_3_0 /misc/src/samba_3_0

Hey Jan,

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work.

Truthfully, I don't think that viewing a patch
requires a local check out or the mirror or local branch.
I can view a patch I generated from outside a svk
checkout.  But I get the same error when trying to
view a patch from another developer.

So how do other people handle patches between
developers?

I thought about writing a script to cleanup patches
if I could figure out where the incompatibility is.
Which begs the questions what exactly is in the SVK
PATCH BLOCK ?




cheers, jerry
