Question. How am I suppose to generate multiple patch files for different fixes when I cant commit changes to the SVN?

For example I submitted a patch for SVN 23143 (call it feature#1) that has been accepted and comitted in SVN 23162 (its not accessible yet through the SVN server). Now I am want to release another patch for something else I fixed (feature #2) but I cant generate a patch file since it would include all changes for feature #1 since I cant commit to svn.

Is there a way around this? SVN doenst update often enough for me to wait for my feature #1 changes to appear and then release a patch for feature #2

Hopefully I am making sense and not confusing everyone.

    1) Get current SVN source codes
    2) make changes to source files that are required to fix / feature #1
    3) make patch file #1
    4) revert all changes from fix/feature #1
    5) make changes to source files that are required to fix / feature #2
    6) make patch file #2

    Anyone who is using the patch files can then pick either 1, 2 or 1 & 2 patches (the merging responsibility is on the person who takes the patches into use or commits those to the SVN).

    I wanted to avoid doing that since it prevents me from adding functionality to code I added already. Feature #2 adding functionality to feature #1. I guess this is the only solution for now.

    Thanks for the help.
