Aah, so I was being silly, and it even mentions this explicitly! Thanks...

It can scroll, right? Yes I know diffs can be big.

I guess I'm coming from a Unix background and trying to use Windows
tools, so I have a different perspective to most.
Most developers I know are much happier with unified diffs (opened in
vim with syntax highlighting) and I like scrolling through them.
But I accept that this might not fit in with the general TortoiseSVN
requirements.
I can't see what would be harmful about allowing an option for a unified
diff on a whole folder though...
Thanks for your quick response
David
