patch should create files (and folders) if the don't already exist

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. attempt to run a patch where some of the hunks are non-existing files on the 
target

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
patch should create these files - as does the linux patch utility, possibly 
creating directories as well

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.
