Simple Question: How do you do a diff with subversion ?

type svn diff --help to get a full description on the switches, or download
the svn book.


I found this guide much useful. Hope helps.

I actually read that guide before I posted my question. The problem I had was understanding what to actually type in to where it says '$ svn diff tagURL1 tagURL2' .

It would be usefull if somebody could post an actual working example of that line. Does one need to use their computer's URL (I'd have to dig around for that one), and where in the line do you specify 'lazarus' ?

It seams that one doesn't actually need to use URL's as shown in the example, doing '$ svn diff lazarus/lcl/xxxx.pas lazarus/lcl/yyyy.pas > zzzz.diff' seems to be enough, as svn keeps a pristine *and* a working copy of lazarus on your computer, so you don't actually need to be connected to the Internet to do a local diff. Also another reason I posted was that I did do a diff as in my example, but I thought it wasn't working because the resultant diff was 0 bytes in size, which actually it wasn't, it's just that Konqueror has an issue with updating file sizes sometimes.
