Re: Cannot diff after file rename

Hello

All 3 diffs work for me with debian's subversion 1.2.3dfsg1-3, the output
was:

Index: TestB-New.txt
===================================================================
--- TestB-New.txt (.../TestB-New.txt) (revision 3)
+++ TestB-New.txt (.../TestB.txt) (revision 2)
@@ -1,2 +1 @@
  TestB
-Renamed

Additionally the following command works too:

svn diff TestB-New.txt@3 -r PREV
