svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff --exclude

[Ma...@playstation.sony.com]

I have been unable to get this command or a number of variants to work:

diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff   -x  '--exclude=ignore_this_file' some_dir 
almost_identical_copy_of_some_dir

If I modify file 'ignore_this_file' in checkout directory 
'almost_identical_copy_of_some_dir'
I can't get any variation of '--exclude/-x' to ignore changes to 
'ignore_this_file'. It will
always show the difference between that file and it's original copy in 
'some_dir'.

Any suggestions.

Thanks for any help.

Passing --exclude to diff via -x will not work because svn is not
running a recursive diff, it's running diff individually on each file
that's modified.
