Re: How to get diff information of a renamed file

Hi
My next question is how to differentiate between a committed file and
directory?

>>More precisely, if you want to see the contents of a file deleted in rev
30, do "svn cat file_name_at_29". That says "look for the thing that in rev 29
had name "file_name".

I want to skip running "svn cat dir_name_at_29". Does svn has a functionality
to check if the committed element is a file or directory?

Thanks
Vinay
