Nope, besides, it will be a suitable send off for Jira to cause you a
final bit of pain in using it J

You will need to write a wrapper script to perform this.

Start here

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.externaldifftools.html

and configure your subversion to kick off your custom wrapper.
Manipulate the passed in args as you want them and output them to your
diff prog.

Hope this sets you on the right track.

Hi,

I am a Subversion command-line tools user on Windows XP.

Version string = svn, version 1.6.12 (r955767) / compiled Jun 21 2010,
16:00:59

I wrote my own diff3 command batch file. We use it on my team to
redirect merges thru KDiff3.

I have noticed the argument list is not very descriptive. I will follow
GNU diff3 terminology: MYFILE, OLDFILE, YOURFILE.

Here are the arguments that my diff3 batch files receives: (These
arguments seem to follow the GNU diff3 argument style.)

1) -E

2) -m

3) -L

4) .working

5) -L

6) .merge-left.rOLD_REVISION

7) -L

8) .merge-right.rYOUR_REVISION

9) /full/path/to/MYFILE

10) /full/path/to/OLDFILE

11) /full/path/to/YOURFILE

In the above argument list, the -L values are not descriptive enough.
Can we add the filename as a prefix?

Example: .working -> MYFILE.working

Such that, if MYFILE = biglib.c, then .working -> biglib.c.working

Many thanks,

Kevin Connor Arpe
