Isn't it that TortoiseSVN is simply being too strict about the diff format it accepts? Since even GNU patch reads and applies them fine (I didn't test it thoroughly though), I would assume git diffs follow some sort of standard (couldn't find it though) for the unified diff format, or at least was designed to not break patch. So in the long term, I think this is rather or at least also something to be addressed in TortoiseSVN. jlh
