Actually that didn't work because svn adds a couple diff specific options
and arguments.
With a small wrapper shell script I can strip away those and then it works:
svn diff -r {`date --iso-8601=date`} --diff-cmd
'/path/to/compare-rulefiles-diffwrapper'
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk/rulesrc/scores/72_scores.cf
If you runn this command after the rule generation you will get the rule
diff compared to the previous version. So you can easily see whats
changing each day. Could add it to a status mail or something.
Same thing could be done for the active.list to see which rules were
added/removed during rule promotion. (unfortunately we would need to
change the wrapper script for that to add the -r 0 option which is needed
for active.list)
See attachment for wrapper shell script, to be put in the same dir as the
compare-rulefiles perl script.
