Thanks Mark- I'm very much a newbie in all this patching stuff, but I don't think I'm using anything other than built-in Eclipse functionality using team->apply patch. And it's clearly not working well.
I took a look at TortoiseSVN but I think it's way overkill for me-- oh well; maybe I'll just wait until it makes it into a release :) Donna Gresh Mark Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 03/05/2008 12:07:21 PM: > Are you using subclipse to apply the patch?
