[bug-patch] Patch not creating new files when no contents

[brad laney]

This is a .patch file created using svn diff (newest version). The diff was that one file was new with no contents, and the other file was modified.
 
 
svn diff --old "https://myrepo/folder" --new "https://myrepo/folder2" > mypatch.patch
 
Index: lic/newfile.txt

\ No newline at end of file

 
Then I ran the patch..
 
patch -p0 -u -i "mypatch.patch" -d "myfolder3" --no-backup-if-mismatch
 
 
 
newfile.txt does not get created
 
 
I've already internet searched but the results I looked through are flooded with "how to delete empty files".
