Hi Jochen,

Small correction: your patches should be in the "files/" directory, not the
"file/" directory.

To check the status of which files have changed from the upstream svn
repository, you can run "svn status" in the ports directory. Files which
have been modified show an "M" next to their name. Files which have been
added but svn is not aware of them show an "?" next to their name.

To tell svn to add a file, use:
$ svn add <INSERT_FILE_NAME>

Then you can run "svn status" again to see the files now have an "A" next
to their name.

Now when you run "svn diff" it will include your additional patches.

Good luck!
-Ben
