Restricting svn log --diff output to single file
The command svn log filename shows a list of revisions in which filename was changed. I would expect svn log --diff filename to only show the differences for that file. However, it shows the differences for all files changed in each revision. Is that really intentional? If so, how can I restrict the differences to just a single file? I am using: svn, version 1.7.2 (r1207936) compiled Nov 29 2011, 22:11:2 Try the following examples: $ svn log -l2 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.0.x/@848689 -qv r848689 | sussman | 2004-02-11 22:01:13 + (Wed, 11 Feb 2004) Changed paths: M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/STATUS r848664 | kfogel | 2004-02-09 22:51:34 + (Mon, 09 Feb 2004) Changed paths: M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/STATUS M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/Pre.rtf M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/Readme.txt M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/W32notes.txt A /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/is_main.pas (from /subversion/trunk/packages/win32-innosetup/is_main.pas:848450) D /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/isx_main.pas M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/svn.iss M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/templates/paths_inno_src.iss M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/tools/mk_distro.pl M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/tools/mk_htmlhelp.bat M /subversion/branches/1.0.x/packages/win32-innosetup/tools/svnpath/main.c $ svn log -l2 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.0.x/@848689 --diff Index: STATUS === --- STATUS (revision 848688) +++ STATUS (revision 848689) snip/ Index: STATUS === --- STATUS (revision 848663) +++ STATUS (revision 848664) snip/ Index: packages/win32-innosetup/isx_main.pas (deleted) === Index: packages/win32-innosetup/Pre.rtf === --- packages/win32-innosetup/Pre.rtf(revision 848663) +++ packages/win32-innosetup/Pre.rtf(revision 848664) snip/

In case it helps anyone else in the meantime, I've managed to get round the bug by using svn log --diff --stop-on-copy url-path-to-file@version for each section of the files history (i.e. between copies) The relevant urls and versions can be found from: svn log -qv filename | grep (from which shows all the copy commands, for example: A /subversion/branches/1.0.x (from /subversion/branches/1.0-stabilization:848597) Unfortunately it also shows individual file copies which aren't relevant, but this can be worked round.

Note, that you can also get diff for particular revision of a file using svn diff -c E.g. svn diff -c r848689 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.0.x/STATUS@848689 Though this command shows less information than svn log --diff.
