What happens if a user forgets to supply the new option? (Does svn
complain that 'foo.c.new is nonexistent/unversioned'?)

For case (2): suppose I have such a patch (was emailed to me). I
applied it using 'svn patch $patchfile'. Now I want to unapply it; so
so I use 'svn patch --rd $patchfile' or 'svn patch --rd --optn $patchfile'?
AIUI, currently only the latter will work?

Is the UI "'svn patch' always uses the filename in the /^+++/ line"?
