RE: Diff algorithm

Thanks! Any ideas where I can get gnu diff for Win2k? Yeah, I know, but I have no choice in that matter...

Subversion's built in diff routines do not have that ability, but you
can tell it to use GNU diff if you want. Something like:

$ svn diff -r 1:2 svn://url/of/repos --diff-cmd /path/to/gnu/diff -x
"-u -b"

--diff-cmd takes the path to the diff program, -x takes the arguments
that should be passed to the diff command.
