RE: Re: Latest Win32 binaries

In "svn_private_config.h" there is a define:
#define SVN_CLIENT_DIFF "c:\\progra~1\\cygnus\\cygwin\\bin\\diff.exe"

that shows which diff program to use. I have set up and used
#define SVN_CLIENT_DIFF "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual
Studio\\Common\\Tools\\WINDIFF.EXE"

as well. To do this you have to change the following line in diff.c:
  if (options->nelts == 0)
    args[i++] = "-u";
 to something like:
  if (options->nelts == 0)
    args[i] = "";

Otherwise, "-u" becomes the first parameter to the diff program, which
causes windiff.exe to show a 'help' dialog.
It would be nice if this could be parameterized in an ini file and/or
the command line.

Are you sure?

I mean, when a file gets updated, it first "materializes" in the tmp/
area by means of applying svndiff data to the pristine file.

I then believe that 'diff' is run between the pristine file and the
newly materialized file, and this difference is applied to the working
file via 'patch'. I think this happens every single time.

[Hmmm, if this *is* true, it's not efficient. If the file isn't
locally modified, then the newly materialized file should just be
copied over both the pristine and working files. I should go check.]
