I know the syntax for using a patch, but am having
trouble making one. My coder has a different dir
from the main source (so if something gets messed
up, it's not fatal) and i would rather make patches
since they should go cleanly (they're the exact same
mud in different dirs). What would the syntax
be for creating a patch?
thanks, and pardon the stupid question.
