The "diff-cmd" that is called by svn needs to accept a bunch of command line options/arguements. IIRC the two file names to compare are args 5 and 6. The rest of the command line is a bunch of options that once-upon-a-time were required to get the gnu diff utility to do what SVN wanted it to do. Hard-wiring the external diff command interface to be that of an old version of gnu diff seems like a big mistake to me, but at least the interface is documented. > What's the trick? I must be missing a helper script? Yes. The details are in the fine manual: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externaldifftools.html -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
