Hi all,
I am trying to dig for some changes in a file that was moved a few times
and 'svn diff' shows full "remove old location and add new location as
if it were a new file" diffs, which are not helpful. Is there a way to
make the diff show the changes as compared against the origin of the
copy? I tried --notice-ancestry, does not help.
I have a vague recollection that 'svn diff' used to show the changes in
such copied files before - but I tried the small reproduction script
below and it shows the same, both with 1.7.22/1.8.17/1.9.7/trunk:
---8<---
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf /tmp/foo-{svn,wc}
svnadmin create /tmp/foo-svn
svn co file:///tmp/foo-svn foo-wc
cd foo-wc
echo foo > foobar
svn add foobar
svn ci -m "1"
svn mv foobar barfoo
echo bar >> barfoo
svn ci -m "2"
svn up
svn diff -c 2
svn --version
---8<---
Diff output:
---8<---
Index: foobar
===================================================================
