Question about creating patch

I participate in a project which uses svn as its repository and I do not have previlege to commit source back to the svn. And I encounter a problem.

Previously I alway use command `svn diff > /tmp/jira_number.patch` to create patch. There is no problem if I just modify existing source code. Now due to I create several java source files which previously did not exist in the svn repository, using `svn diff > /tmp/jira_number.patch` won't create patch that contains newly created source files. For instance, in svn there contained files

messaging
+ messagedriven + a.java/ b.java

Now I add new files

messaging
+ messagdriven + a.java/ b.java/ c.java
+ d.java
+ e.java

Files like d.java, e.java and c.java won't be included in the jira_number.patch file if executing `svn diff > /tmp/jira_number.patch`. And I can't commit source so I can't do e.g. `svn add` to add source back to the repository.

What is the better way (best practice) to create patch so the developers would be easier to apply or test patch?

Thanks.
