In my project, another developer reorganized some files, and now I have some problems with their differences :-( I started to think that it would be nice to get webSVN to show these differences, now I just wanted to see them myself!
I know that the svn method refers to deletion as an operation in the parent directory, but my problem is compounded by the fact that the files are in a subdirectory that was deleted.
Original structure:
conf/
files/
configfile1
configfile2
Here's what happened:
$ svn log -vr 5
...
D /conf/files
A /conf/combined_configfile
What I am trying to get is the difference in the changes previously introduced in the configuration files before being deleted. Something like this would be nice:
svn diff -r 2:4 conf/files/configfile1
svn: 'conf/files' is not a working copy
svn: 'conf/files' does not exist
or even:
svn diff -r 2:4 'conf/files'
svn: 'conf/files' is not under version control
or how about:
svn diff -r 2:4 'https://svnhost.localdomain/project1/conf/files'
svn: '/proj1/!svn/bc/1343/conf/files' path not found
, - svn- , (conf/ ), diff .
?
