See:
Appendix D. Automating TortoiseSVN
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-automation.html
:diff
Starts the external diff program specified in the TortoiseSVN
settings. The /path specifies the first file. If the option /path2 is
set, then the diff program is started with those two files. If /path2
is ommitted, then the diff is done between the file in /path and its
BASE.
This is not the best way to do it (I actually want to set up Bash
completion), but this is the function I defined in my .bashrc.
function tsvn-diff () {
CMD="cygstart -o TortoiseProc /notempfile /closeonend /command:diff"
case "${#}" in
0) CMD="${CMD} /path:\"$(cygpath -aw ".")\"" ;;
1) CMD="${CMD} /path:\"$(cygpath -aw "${1}")\"" ;;
2) CMD="${CMD} /path:\"$(cygpath -aw "${2}")\"
/path2:\"$(cygpath -aw "${1}")\"" ;;
*) CMD="echo Usage: tsvn-diff PATH1 [PATH2]" ;;
esac
$CMD ;
}
