Thanks Urias and Ingo -- I will follow your advice...

OK, thanks. I understand from the man page that patch takes as possibles
*all* the files that are listed, so that as long as one of them matches
the target (beginning with 'src/...') it should find it. So if the old
file is in "src/.../servers/ALPHA1/...", and the revised one has the
expected path of "src/.../servers/...", that should be fine(?).

OK -- I'll avoid that option. (My tree is actually rooted in 'haiku'
rather than 'trunk' -- because that's the way berlios provided it --,
but below that it's identical, so I should be able to diff from the
haiku directory and get the same result.)
