svn diff --notice-ancestry: strange behavior

[Nick Patavalis <np...@efault.net>]

I noticed the following strange behavior using svn 1.0.6 (built from
the source tarball, running on linux, with db-4.2.52, with apr from
apache 2.0.50, accessing the repos through svnserve). I do:

   svn diff --notice-ancestry \
            --old svn://host/rep/proj/branches/b1/dir1 \
            --new svn://host/rep/proj/trunk/dir1

And I see a file in "dir1" getting deleted and added-back again with
exactly the same contents. This what I expected to see. Then I do:

   svn diff --notice-ancestry \
            --old svn://host/rep/branches/b1/dir1 \
            --new ./dir1

Where "dir1" is a fully up-to-date working copy, and I see no
differences. It seems as if "--notice-ancestry" was ignored in the
latter invocation. Is this reasonable, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for for your replies

You 're right! It seems like diff ignores the "--old" argument
altogether! It behaves as if I was doing just "svn diff ./dir1".

Is there a list of other such "gotchas" posted someplace?

My understanding is that 'svn diff --old URL --new working_copy' isn't
supported at all in the svn 1.0.x line.  Are you sure that's working? 
Aren't you getting an error?
