I don't think there's any good reason, except perhaps for considerations
about documenting the behaviour. 'svn log -q -v' works ... by the
principle of least surprise, 'svn log -q --diff' should work, too.

At a glance, the help message doesn't need changing, either.

I don't see any reason for this restriction either, and the combination
does seem to work, once the check is removed.  Why should this
restriction be kept?

Why option --diff and -q of svn log are mutually exclusive

[wuzhouhui]

Hi,

When I use

svn log -q --diff

to display only different of every revision, the svn report error:

svn: E205000: Try 'svn help log' for more information
svn: E205000: 'quiet' and 'diff' options are mutually exclusive

I just don't understand why option --diff and -q are mutually exclusive?
Can we remove this limitation?

Please remember to Reply All so that the conversation stays on the list.

Since you weren't able to pinpoint what you were doing when this occurred or 
how to reproduce it, it seems unlikely that anyone here will be able to help 
you. But maybe someone has seen the error before and can give you some 
suggestions.

You could also search Google generally or the mailing list archives 
specifically for the error message "assertion failed 
(svn_dirent_is_absolute(local_abspath))" and see if any of the results lead you 
to a solution. If you find out what the problem was, please let us know.

Good luck.
