RE: Diff with start of repository

Hi Bob,

As I said I'm using a tool that plugs into SVN called Codestriker.
I appreciate that tool is not your problem, but I think what it expects
from a source code repository is fair.

What I need to be able to do is analogous to a cvs diff against version
1.0.

i.e. I want to be able to go something like:
svn diff -r 0:100 svn://server/repository/subdir

That'll give me the unified diff of all files in that directory for
revision 100 against an empty file, i.e. the contents of every file,
with the appropriate headers, with all lines marked with a +.

Please shout if you need more info.
Or I can provide an example of the cvs diff output.

Cheers,
Martyn

Martyn,

  Please provide more specific scenarios, at least the diff commands
you're using.

Thank you,

Bob
