RE: [Subclipse-users] Patch uses absolute paths

Mark,

I am actually working with Eclipse 3.1.x on a Windows XP box, and I am
observing the same behaviour. I am a committer for the open source
project Castor hosted at http://www.codehaus.org, and we recently
switched from CVS to Subversion.

As a result, I am not capable of creating unified patches anymore from
within Eclipse (using Subclipse), as the patch will use absolute pathes
(which is not really desirable). When using e.g. The svn command line
client, pathc files look fine, though.

Just my 0.02 cents

Werner
