I suppose so and will look into it. So far, my patches have mostly 
touched one or two files and updating those files manually (before
doing diff) has been practical. This time, some 10 files are affected
by the patch, so it becomes a bit more involved.

That's why I'm manually updating my sources. So that when I make 
diff, I do it against the latest version of the file I changed. 

When encountering a bug / problem, I work with the source files I 
have on my disc. After testing for some time, I update relevant
sources to SVN and merge my changes into them. And retest.

It has worked without significant problems.

Doing a full SVN update can be costly in terms of time (my source and 
3rd party libraries often break in some subtle ways). I've been making 
it something like every 2nd month. It has usually meant spending a day 
or two getting things working again. I don't want that type of activity
to take up a larger portion than that.
