Package: subversion
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal
If I svn diff two differing local directories, svn returns 0
and gives no output. I would expect svn diff to operate on local
dirs the same way it does on remote dirs and report a difference.
To illustrate:
## Create a repository from scratch
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir /tmp/svn
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /tmp/svn
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn$ mkdir repo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn$ cd repo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/repo$ svnadmin create foo
## Check it out
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/repo$ cd ..
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn$ mkdir co
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn$ cd co
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/co$ svn co file:///tmp/svn/repo/foo .
Checked out revision 0.
## Create two directories
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/co$ svn mkdir a b

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/co$ svn commit -m 'create dirs'

## Populate them with different contents
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/co$ echo bar > a/file
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/svn/co$ echo baz > b/file

## Local svn diff shows differences

I'm closing this bug as it is simply a misunderstanding about the
command line interface. "svn diff a b" is exactly like
"svn diff a; svn diff b". If you want regular file differencing,
use something like "diff -urNx.svn a b".
