According to the help you can use this format of the svn diff svn diff old-u...@oldrev] new-u...@newrev] So svn diff http://url.to.repo/project/tags/2010-11-21/important_stuff/details.txt http://url.to.repo/project/trunk/important_stuff/details.txt Try it Giulio

Hello,
I am using the latest (stable) version on both Linux and WinSlows.
For one of my repositories, I created a daily tag of a diary.
Example:
/project/trunk/important_stuff
/project/tags/2010-11-20/important_stuff
/project/tags/2010-11-21/important_stuff
/project/tags/2010-11-22/important_stuff
etc.
Each morning I svn copy important_stuff (HEAD revision) to the tags
area and commit.
In theory, this will be used to easily find what changed day-over-day.
Of course all of this is possible poking through svn logs, but I want
to make this easier.
My question: What is the SVN command to diff a file in a tagged set vs
trunk head?
Fantasy command:
svn diff -rtag:2010-11-21 -rHEAD /project/trunk/important_stuff/details.txt
or...
svn diff -rtrunk:HEAD /project/tags/2010-11-21/important_stuff/details.txt
I tried many different svn diff commands. No luck. I also did some
heavy Google/StackOverflow searching. No luck.
I'm trying to understand how this tagging diffing between 2 paths is
better/easier than just keeping your single file, and diffing
yesterday's date against HEAD. For example:
svn diff -r {2010-11-22}:HEAD /project/trunk/important_stuff
Use the --summarize switch to just list the paths that have been
modified, if that's all you're after.
If you're just using the file important_stuff to just keep a running
changelog, using svn log with the revision range (yesterday to HEAD)
applied to the trunk URL could also work, with a little extra
scripting parsing; especially if you can create an XSL stylesheet to
apply to the output of svn log --xml
