Okay thanks. I was not aware that svn diff did always work directly. I thougt maybe the fact that the latest subversion created diffs in unified format got it to work now. The suggestion then would have been to add a switch to the post-review command to enable/disable the use of GNUdiff/plain svn diff for subversion based repositories. That would have made installation/setup of the client (at least on windows) a bit easier.

I honestly don't remember what they are, so we'd have to dig into it a bit, but forcing GNU diff worked around them. Wish I was more helpful than that.

After the upgrade post-review did not function anymore. The problem was that the diff.exe program of the CollabNet installation messed with my GNU diff.exe. I sorted that and it is working now. During the debugging process I generated a diff set using simply "svn diff <file>" (not external diff program specified), and saved the output to a file for use with the post-review switch -diff-filename=<file>. It worked. I guess it is because "svn diff" now produce unified format diffs. Are there any plans to do away with GNU diff program requirement on windows?
