[MiNT] Creating a patch for a non-existing directory

[m0n0 <ole@monochrom.net>]

Hello,

I want to submit a patch for new driver to the Freemint Mailing List.
However, I fail to create an proper patch.

First I tried to use CVS for it, but you can only cvs diff added 
directories and files. That's only possible when you have write access.
Then I tried local diff, however, it also fails, or applying the patch 
when testing it fails.
(I get error message: The next patch would create the file ./,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n] ).

So how should I send patches to the mailing list.

Answer should be added to:

Thanks & Greets,
