Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-01-23 07:00:57 EST 
- change a file
- activate create patch
- you can enter a name and the file is created inside the folder for which you 
create the patch.

IMO this location is not very useful. Normally I create a patch if I want to 
sent it to someone else. So I would like to create the diff outside the 
workspace. Creating it inside leads to the fact that the diff file shows up as 
an outgoing change if I forget to delete it.
