svn diff weirdness

[Michael Reinelt <m....@steinhilberschwehr.at>]

Hi there,

first, I got in touch with subversion a few days ago, and I really
really like this stuff! This is going to make my life a lot easier!
Thank you guys (and gals?) for this great tool!


I'm facing the following problem: I want to compare a file in trunk and
in a specific branch. I cannot use a normal 'diff' comamnd because of
keyword substitution. But I found that 'svn diff' handles this fine...

so I tried the following:

Step 1: find out the last changed revisions:

$ svn info trunk/lib/MRK/al.pm
[...]
Last Changed Rev: 54
[...]

$ svn info branches/Fill/lib/MRK/al.pm
[...]
Last Changed Rev: 17
[...]


$ svn diff --old=trunk/lib/MRK/al.pm@54 --new=branches/Fill/lib/MRK/al.pm@17

svn: 'file:///svnroot/MRK/branches/Fill/lib/MRK/al.pm' was not found in
the repository at revision 17

thats true: the file al.pm was added to the branch at revision 20.


Any hints?


TIA, Michael
