I have not experience with SVN as I am a lone developer.

This is the step I don't understand.

How do I use the normal diff format for my patch?

I know nothing of how the diff command works. We all learn somewhere. :-)

*Instructions For Linux/BSD etc:*

We'll assume that you have your SVN checkout of Lazarus in $HOME/lazarus

   1. Open your favorite Terminal program
   2. cd $HOME {press enter}
   3. cd lazarus {press enter}
   4. svn diff > mypatch.diff {press enter}


Basically:
