Becuase it knows how to filter the results based on given paths or URLs, so that you can request a diff of the changes on just one file in a particular revision, even if several files were affected. If you don't give it a target, it uses the current path in the current working copy as a filter. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com
