Create a patch with Tortoise SVN - tortoisesvn

I'm new on Tortoise SVN so maybe this question could seem silly...
Is there a way to create a "real" patch with Tortoise SVN?
I mean, I'd wish to export only latest files, so I can upload only them, instead of uploading everything every time.
How can I do that?

In TortoiseSVN, follow these steps
Context menu -> Show log
Select 2 revisions (using Ctrl+Click)
Right click -> Compare revisions
TortoiseSVN will display all related files for these 2 revisions
Select the files you want, right click -> Export selection to

To create a patch file, right-click on the versioned folder, go the TortoiseSVN context menu and select "Create patch"

ok, i found how can i do that:

How to use WinMerge instead of TortoiseMerge when comparing a revision with the working copy

I like using WinMerge instead of TortoiseMerge with TortoiseSVN for comparing changes between separate revisions of a file. I can configure this for most things in the TortoiseSVN settings (context menu > "TortoiseSVN" > "Settings" > "Diff Viewer"):
However, when I want to compare files in a particular revision against the those in the working copy, it uses TortoiseMerge. To see what I mean, go to the TortoiseSVN log viewer from the working copy: right-click in the working copy folder, select "TortoiseSVN" > "Show log", right-click on a prior revision, and select "Compare with working copy". Then, double-click the file of interest in the list of "file patches" that appears.
Is there any way to get it to use WinMerge instead of TortoiseMerge for these cases?
Sorry, no. Because WinMerge is not able to apply patch files.
When you do a "Compare with working copy", TortoiseSVN creates a unified diff (also known as a patch) between the selected revision and the working copy. Then it starts TortoiseMerge, telling it to apply that patch to the working copy. That's why in this case TortoiseMerge is started, not WinMerge: it's not really a diff that is done but a merge.

Highlight changes in code since last commit in Android Studio

Is there any way I can show changes that I made since the last commit in the code editor?
Use the Version Control tab. Under Log, you can select the first two changes, and use CTRL + D or Command + D to produce a diff between the two.
Note that this approach works best with code under source control that's registered with Android Studio. If you're not using any source control, you can still get a partial history of changes by navigating to VCS > Local History > Show Local History and selecting the root directory in your project. Note that this is subject to the Local History log length, which is nominally limited to 1,000 entries.
If you are using subversion Git then :
VCS->Git->Compare with the Same Repository Version
On the left side of IDE open "Project" bar and select "Changed Files"
In the menu:
VCS -> Subversion -> Compare with lastest repository version

How to show gutter for git diff?

In IntelliJ there is a gutter to the left of the text editing area that can show git diffs. I would like to have the same thing in android studio. Is there a way to make this appear?
I've run into this issue a couple times using Android Studio there are two reasons I've seen Git diffs not show in the gutter.
The Git VCS path for the project isn't set. You can typically set this in your project by going to:
System Preferences > VCS
Then hitting the + button and adding your Git root directory.
The project xml is borked. Sometimes a corruption exists some where in the code directory. Unfortunately, after hours of searching through XML in the .idea directory and other files and directories I was never able to find the culprit. However, simply deleting the project, pulling it down from source control and re-importing it into Android Studio re-enabled the git diffing in the sidebar.
If you already have the git-repository associated with project. And you just need to enable VCS, to be able to perform operations (pull, push, etc.). You need to select : VCS >> enable VCS. Then after, it is automatically able to understand the source-control associated with the project. You can validate, by selecting : VCS >> Git >> Branches.
NOTE : I had been using git for version-controling, hence it shows "Git" option in the VCS menu list. This may differ based on your tool.

How do I create a patch from diff between revisions using TortoiseSVN?

I'm working on a project where Subversion is used to maintain version control. I use TortoiseSVN to access the project repository.
Some changes were made between two revisions on a project (let's call them rev1 and rev2), and I want to be able to apply these changes to a working copy somewhere that temporarily does not have access to the repository.
I right-clicked on a project folder, clicked 'SVN show log', selected the two revisions and selected 'Show changes as unified diff'.
This causes a window to be shown, displaying output that very much looks like a patch file that I could save. Unfortunately, I find that there is no option in the window that lets me save this as a patch file.
How can I create the patch file?
The next version of TortoiseSVN (1.7.x) will have that save option. In the meantime, you can configure a plain text editor as your unified diff viewer:
Settings dialog->External Programs->Unified Diff Viewer
There you could, for example, specify notepad.exe as your diff viewer.
One way to achieve you goal is to right click on the revision in the TortoiseSVN log and choose "Merge revision to...". Then you select you local working project and click OK.

Does p4V have a good way to merge integration files without having to click a lot?

When performing integrations, sometimes you need to merge files. The old Perforce GUI (P4Win) had a nice Ctrl+M hotkey I could use to run my merge tool quckly and easily.
In P4V, I find I need to right-click the file, click on Resolve, and then click on Run Merge Tool. Alternatively I can right click, O, O, Enter, and then click on Run Merge tool. This is a pain, especially when I need to resolve dozens of files.
Is there a way to make it better?
Right-click on your pending changelist and select "Resolve Files..." That will walk you through each file.
