In which file would I look to remove the param? I am using a Windows
environment.

 

Thanks,

Tim

There's no way to pass additional arguments right now. Personally I don't
like that we even use --diff-cmd, but it works around some other problems
we've hit in the past (I'd have to check the commit logs to remember exactly
what they were).

It may be worth modifying your copy for now to remove that parameter, if
it's blocking you.

Alternatively, the diffutils docs (http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/%0Amanual/diff.html#Binary> 
manual/diff.html#Binary) state:

"Differing binary files are considered to cause trouble because the
resulting diff output does not capture all the differences. This
trouble causes diff to exit with status 2. However, this trouble
cannot occur with the --a or --text option, or with the -q or --brief
option, as these options both cause diff to treat binary files like
text files."

Can post-review call svn diff with the -a option? Is there a way that
I can tell it to do that in config?

I believe the reason is that the svn:mime-type property is not set
correctly on the binary file and svn diff is trying to text diff it.


Thanks,
