[OH-Dev] [issue844] Windows specific instructions

[fstopzero]

New submission from fstopzero <beckastar at gmail.com>:

http://openhatch.org/missions/diffpatch/recursive_patch

I'm a n00b to the command line and contributing, and am learning as I go through the trainings.  
The instructions here:
http://openhatch.org/missions/diffpatch/recursive_patch

are windows specific, and also, seem to be unclear - I don't know if the patch isn't working because 
of the recommended command line, or because I'm making a mistake.  

Nitpicking here: the "1" looks like an "l" in this font.  Maybe an explanation on what the number 
means? 

Here's my command line:

Beckas-MacBook-Air:recursivediff becka$ patch -p1 < recipes.patch
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
Beckas-MacBook-Air:recursivediff becka$ patch -p1 < more-garlic.patch
-bash: more-garlic.patch: No such file or directory
Beckas-MacBook-Air:recursivediff becka$ patch -p1 < recipes.patch
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.
Beckas-MacBook-Air:recursivediff becka$ patch -p1 < page
-bash: page: No such file or directory
Beckas-MacBook-Air:recursivediff becka$ patch -p1 < patch
patching file recipes/README
patching file recipes/MelanzaneParmigiana.txt
