Hi Marko,
I tried to apply my patch boundary_prep_quadtree_v1.patch on the performance branch in my linux environment. I still wasn't able to do it :-(
There are a couple of issues with the patch: * It uses CRLF line endings. GNU patch tries to be helpful by converting to LF line endings. Unfortunately, the files being patched have CRLF line endings, so patch's helpfulness actually gets in the way. This can be worked around by using the '--binary' option when patching. * The last hunk is corrupt. The hunk header contains: @@ -281,4 +281,154 @@ which indicates that 150 new lines were added (154 minus 4). There are actually 151 new lines in the hunk, so either 154 should be 155 or there's a stray line that should be deleted. After editing the patch and changing that 154 to 155, I was able to apply the patch on my Linux system using the following command: patch -p0 --binary <verify_boundary.patch I like Marko's suggestion of running 'svn propset svn:eol-style native' on all text files in the repository. That will help avoid such problems in the future. -Richard
