Hi Anton, Yes, 'svn diff -c' does not accept BASE or HEAD, only numeric arguments. You could file it as a bug report / feature request, but since that has been the case for a very long time, perhaps the most effective way to get it changed is to submit a patch for review to the dev@ list. Cheers, Nathan
