Re: 4 bugs in svn diff (IssueZilla gives me Internal Server Error)

Hello Ben,

maybe it would be better to use two distinct svn commands:

"svn diff" diffs exactly two arbitrary paths, each of them either local
(why not?) or remote; this would be just an extension of the traditional
unix diff.
"svn vdiff" ("vdiff" for version-diff) diffs the two specified versions
of the given list of version controlled paths (one by one).

Regards
        Stephan
