Right. The changes in subversion 1.7 meant that we couldn't support subdirectory comparison in the same way as for subversion <1.6. Support for that was re-added in either Meld 1.7.0 or 1.7.1, I can't recall which. It may be possible to fix support in the 1.6 series, but I wouldn't count on it being a non-invasive change. Certainly the changes in Meld 1.7.x are far too disruptive to backport to the stable series. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
