Why option --diff and -q of svn log are mutually exclusive
Hi,
When I use
svn log -q --diff
to display only different of every revision, the svn report error:
svn: E205000: Try 'svn help log' for more information
svn: E205000: 'quiet' and 'diff' options are mutually exclusive
I just don't understand why option --diff and -q are mutually exclusive?
Can we remove this limitation?

Done in r1871916. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't think there's any good reason, except perhaps for considerations
about documenting the behaviour. 'svn log -q -v' works ... by the
principle of least surprise, 'svn log -q --diff' should work, too.
At a glance, the help message doesn't need changing, either.

I don't see any reason for this restriction either, and the combination
does seem to work, once the check is removed. Why should this
restriction be kept?
