Hi all, Sorry for a long delay :) 5 years ago, I sent a patch to the mailing list that would allow to specify what to include/exclude from the diff output:
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=742594 There were two problems this patch tried to address: 1. There was no way to exclude properties from the diff output. 2. There was no way to obtain a list of modified/added/deleted files and whether the content and/or properties have been modified. I got a response from Ben Collins-Sussman that the patch I sent is superseded by --summarize option which was implemented in the trunk (which would eventually become 1.4): http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-06/0202.shtml Actually, --summarize only addresses the issue #2, but not the issue #1. As to issue #1, ability to disable property diffs is still missing from Subversion. Common wisdom suggests running the diff through 'filterdiff --clean': http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2755848/how-do-you-get-subversion-diff- summary-to-ignore-mergeinfo-properties http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402522/is-there-a-metadata-exclusion- filter-for-the-svn-diff-command But this is still unreliable: if property text includes a diff-like chunk, it will go through. What is the sentiment about implementing --no-property-diff option to 'svn diff'? I can implement it if there's agreement such option is needed. Regards, Alexey.
