When possible, please submit a
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>svn
</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1
</manvolnum></citerefentry> diff. They are easier to handle than diffs between
<quote>new and old
</quote> directories. It is easier to see what has changed, and to update the diff if something was modified in the Ports Collection since the work on it began, or if the committer asks for something to be fixed. Also, a patch generated with
<command>svn diff
</command> can be easily applied with
<command>svn patch
</command> and will save some time to the committer.
