CVS diff (and the command line regular diff) have an option to specify how much context you want around your diff. Subversion diff doesn't - in fact it takes hardly any parameters. But there is a way - you can specify an external diff that svn diff should use instead of the builtin. Like so:
svn diff --diff-cmd diff --extensions '-u8' <files you want to diff> --diff-cmd tells svn to use an external diff command, here simply "diff", and --extensions passed "-u8" to that command in my example above, which shows 8 lines of context around the changes (Mac version of diff takes different args, I think you'd want "-U 8"). -- Heikki Toivonen
