That's why my suggested invocation had a hyphen '-' at the end, playing the
role of a place-holder for 'stdin'. This preserves both current situations,
i.e., 'svn patch' being called without an argument (--> error) and with a
filename (--> normal processing). Also, 'svn patch -' should _require_ to be
supplied with the '-P' option and a filename for storage.
Thanks for considering this.
