Upstream has discussed this a bit in the past (documenting --diff-cmd better), and IIRC, the general idea was that --diff-cmd is really only supported nowadays for compatibility and there's not much enthusiasm for encouraging people to use it. > Alternately, svn diff could provide some way to output what exactly > its doing at run time. --diff-cmd=echo You'll see that the svn client itself outputs the Index: and ====== lines, then invokes the diff program. Writing a shell wrapper around any file differencing program you want should be a straightforward affair. Peter
