If you're saying that you have commit access to the project, and you
have a working copy of the project, and someone without commit access
is sending you a standard Unix diff of some changes, and you want to
commit these, then you simply use the normal Unix patch command to
apply the changes to your working copy, test them, and check them in.
Note that this would only apply to changes to existing files. AFAIK
the Unix patch format cannot represent the addition or deletion of
files, and these would need to be handled separately for Subversion
anyway, in that you would need to svn add the files you want to add,
and svn delete the files you want to delete.
