Or 'svn diff --old=^/branches/branch1 --new=^/branches/branch2' (The ^/ syntax is shorthand for the repository root, when your current working directory is inside a working copy (so svn can discover what repository you're referring to). On Windows you have to escape the ^, so it becomes ^^/). In 1.8 you'll no longer need the --old / --new options for comparing two arbitrary URLs, you can just type: svn diff ^/branches/branch1 ^/branches/branch2 -- Johan
