Creating a patch with SVN, Git or whatever

vedran

And I'm not talking about patch/diff thing, I need a full file patch which would compare different branches or versions and give me the files which are different, keeping the directory structure.

Any ideas how to do it?

Not really. Let me try to explain better.

Lets assume I have several servers running version 1 of some software. I only have FTP access to those servers, and I don't want to update all files with each version.

Now I have version 2 which I have to apply to all servers, so ideally I need my version control to give me the files which have changed from version 1 to version 2 which I can copy to all those servers using FTP.

I must not be reading it correctly then. That guide tells you how to create a .patch file which I don't need. I need file1, file2 and file3 which have been modified since version 1.
