    <p>Hi Julian,<br>
      I reverted the commit, (nothing got broken ;)<br>
      you don't need to (manually) create a diff for committing, only:<br>
    </p>
    <p>    svn commit -m "your message"<br>
    </p>
    <p>I tested the cmd commit following <a moz-do-not-send="true"
        href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.commit.html">http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.commit.html</a></p>
    <p>If you want to limit to a file(s) you have to save the message in
      a .txt (resulted in rBM4214):</p>
    <p>    svn commit -F "path-to/msg.txt"
      "path-to/manual/editors/timeline.rst"</p>
    <p>The wiki page is about Blenders source code repository (manual
      related info is all in /about).<br>
      I use Tortoise - can recommend it.</p>
    <p>Please try again, <br>
      Tobias<br>

              i have tried to figure out how to add this as a commit now
              that i have been added to the documentation project, but i
              think i have failed. i looked at the text on
              <a class="m_5041649239113938754moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/about/contribute/patch_commit.html"
                target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://docs.blender.org/<wbr>manual/en/dev/about/<wbr>contribute/patch_commit.html</a>,
              but i cannot work how to get my diff into the svn (with
              which i am very unfamiliar).<br>
              <br>
              i tried the following:<br>
              <blockquote>C:\blender_docs>svn update<br>
                Updating '.':<br>
                At revision 4202.<br>
                <br>

                <br>
                C:\blender_docs>svn commit<br>
                svn: E205007: Commit failed (details follow):<br>

                <br>
                C:\blender_docs><br>
              </blockquote>
              i deliberately did not add a -m message as i was hoping
              that might trigger some useful instruction, but the above
              did not help me. i am not sure whether i really do need to
              set environment variables. <br>
              <br>
              instead of using the command line, i tried to use
              tortoisesvn. however, on this page (which may or may not
              be relevant), <a

                target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.blender.org/<wbr>index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_<wbr>Blender/Windows/svn</a>,
              i read this:<br>
              <blockquote>

              </blockquote>
              which stopped me in my tracks. causing conflicts is
              exactly what i want to avoid. my tiny change is unlikely
              to do any damage, but i really would appreciate some
              accurate and comprehensive instructions on how to commit
              or 'land' my changes, ideally both from the command line
              and with tortoisesvn.<br>
