Bug ID: 410962
Summary: kdiff3 vs svn (subversion)
Product: kdiff3
Version: 1.7.90
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The command line sent to kdiff3 by svn used to work. Now it doesn't. The
command line from svn is apparently:
kdiff3 -u -L "filename (revision n)" -L "filename (revision m)"
/tmp/svn-mumble /tmp/svn-mumble
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create or find some useful text file for testing, such as fox.txt
2. in the shell, type
kdiff3 -u -L "Left" -L "Right" fox.txt fox.txt
OBSERVED RESULT
From 1.7.90, a three-way diff of Left, Right, and fox.txt, and complaints
that it cannot open Left and Right.
From 1.8.1, a Severe Internal Error: "Data loss error: If is it reproducible
please contact the author."
EXPECTED RESULT
a two-way diff of fox.txt and fox.txt, the two files labelled "Left" and
"Right" (naturally showing no differences). This is what we saw with kdiff3
0.9.98.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kubuntu 19.04, which has 1.7.90. Also loaded the 1.8.1 package from Kubuntu
19.10.
