While I'm sure this question must have come up in the past, I can't find anything in the archives. Is there any good method for patching source files with spaces in the name? I'm looking at creating an eclipse-devel port for Eclipse 3.1m5a. I've already got something working now that allows me to build on AMD64 (see the freebsd-java archives if you are interested). Now I'm trying to clean up my work, and one of the problems I've encountered is that Eclipse uses spaces in many of their paths. If I take a diff for changes I've made to files within one of these directories, the patch won't apply again afterwards. Are there any ports that deal with similar problems in an elegant manner? Thanks, Alex.
