 Congratulations! The generated patch is BePorter compatible.
+Note: when creating a patch from a svn or a similar repository, it is preferred to create the patch from the top-most directory.
+Note: when creating a patch from a svn or a similar repository, the developers of that software package will typically prefer it to be created from the top-most directory. However, BePorter currently requires the patch to be created in the parent of that top-most directory.
 As example, image we wish to create a patch of Haiku's OptionalPackage file.
+Yes, I realize this is a horrible example.
 {{{
 cd /path/haiku/
+svn diff build/jam/OptionalPackages > ~/OptionalPackage-<new-pkg>.patch
+cd ../
+svn diff haiku/build/jam/OptionalPackages > ~/OptionalPackage-<new-pkg>.patch
 }}}
-A patch created in this manner is the preferred method, as it allows the developers to apply it from their top-most directory.
