But that isn't complete. It doesn't handle svn properties, svn rm/add, etc.
Further, the output from svn diff is not quite GNU patch compatible; binary
files aren't handled the same was as GNU diff. Adds and removes are also not
handled the same was as GNU diff, so patch won't delete files either.

Look for 'rich patch format'... that may lead you to more info.
