I should have mentioned the local mods because there that's my
problem. I'm doing a merge to a branch wc, and afterwards my program
no longer works correctly. As the merged-in feature work on trunc, I
want to diff some of the files, modified by the merge, to trunc, to
see what's missing (perhaps one of the previous trunc revisions that
where not merged contained a prerequisite I didn't recognize).
As I think I could use the proposed feature regularly in the future
(well, thats perhapse my own fault, but ... 8-), I'm very interested
to see it being included in TSVN (sorry, no chance to do it myself, as
I'm not familiar with programing windows applications at all)
On the other hand, if it's only me that is interested in the feature,
I don't think it would be to difficult to come up with a sript for my
workaround.
If you see a chance to implement it, but need some more convincing,
let me know 8-)
