3) Once obtained the diff file, how can I apply it in SF?

Please answer this questions as soon as possible it's for a friend of mine.

Answer 1

You dont.

You have a development directory where you edit/test the code.

In the other directory - you check-out the file or project.

This way you can change/commit/change/commit as often as you want in the development directory, but you only "svn update -r1111 file_name" in the production directory to get the revision you want.

You dont use SVN diff to see what you changed. You add a message when you commit changes to document what you did.
