I was aware of that much... the interesting part of the question is how
to I convince OpenOffice to support the command line syntax of diff -
or, conversely, convince TortoiseSVN to talk to OpenOffice however it
most wants to be talked to. I'm aware that this is more of an
OpenOffice question than a TortoiseSVN question... but as the issue
arises when trying to use Subversion/TortoiseSVN I still think this is
a "fair game" question...

Can anyone tell me how I can convince OpenOffice Writer to difference
two files from the command line? It seems an obvious thing to want to
do when you have TortoiseSVN and OpenOffice - but I can't find it
documented anywhere.
