Hi,
I'm using vimdiff as my diff tool for svn diff. The wrapper is simple one line
command "vimdiff -R $6 $7". Having open vimdiff, it happens often that I would
like to fix my local changes, mostly typos, small stuff, etc. It would be thus
handy if I can do it in vimdiff, rather than open the file separately.
I thought that there should be some svn diff option to do so, but I did not
find that. After searching internet, I found few similar questions with no
answers. I briefly went through red-bean SVN book, chapter 7., that has some
details on external diff tool setup, etc. but I haven't found solution there
also. I search your bugs also with no result.
Likely I can resolve this with some small Bash scripting, like getting my base
file revision via "svn info", then export that file revision from the
repository, save it to some temp_base_file and call vimdiff directly without
"svn diff" like "vimdiff -R temp_base_file file", but this seems to me odd. At
least just because I will not see potential changes in the file attributes.
So, is there a way how to provide the real local file for the external diff
tool "right side"?
Thank you,Juraj
