svn diffs by word
Hi,
is it possible to tell svn that it should do diffs by word and not by line?
Either using an editor with or without word wrap, if you change one single word
in a paragraph, the whole paragraph is marked as 'changed'. You will hardly find
what has changed.
Regards, Christian

Thanks, Eric and Blair. That's what I was looking for.

The wdiff program does word based diffs and as Erik suggested, pass it's path to
the --diff-cmd command line option.

The internal diff is line-based, but with the right configuration, you
can use your own diff tools. (see --diff-cmd command line switch.)
bye,
Erik.
