Re: Problems with diff3 on win32

This problem exists in the svn-0.14.0-r2667-setup.exe package as well (July
24, 2002).

As suggested below, setting the path to include the diff directory solves
this issue.

My apologies for restating this solution if it has already been posted or
corrected. Perhaps this message will link with the rest of the thread and
make the solution more readily available.

This project appears to be coming along well. While I can wait to use it, I
would rather not (wait). Good Job.

Could it be the SVN_DIFF3_HAS_DIFF_PROGRAM_ARG stuff? If the svn
binary passes --diff-program to diff3 version 2.7 then diff3 will
fail. On the other hand, if svn fails to pass --diff-program to diff3
version 2.8 then diff3 may fail to invoke diff.
