$ svn help patch

patch: Apply a patch to a working copy.

usage: patch PATCHFILE [WCPATH]

Apply a unidiff patch in PATCHFILE to the working copy WCPATH. If WCPATH is omitted, '.' is assumed.

A unidiff patch suitable for application to a working copy can be produced with the svn diff command or third-party diffing tools. Any non-unidiff content of PATCHFILE is ignored, except for Subversion property diffs as produced by svn diff.
