Unfortunately not. %2f (for a forward slash) is recognized as such and then converted to a path. I'm unsure if this is specific to TortoiseSVN or the diff tool we are using however (Beyond Compare 4).
As an addendum, I meant to say that the /s in a url are converted such as that https://groups.google.com/g/tortsoisesvn/ would be https:\\groups.google.com\g\tortoisesvn\. I'm unsure of how to modify my original comment. On Friday, April 28, 2023 at 3:14:24 PM UTC+12 Tony Rietwyk wrote: > Hi.
