Ant Task and Diff Export

[Rob Wilkerson <r....@gmail.com>]

Hey all -

I have two unrelated questions that I thought I'd try to ask at the
same time.  The first I've asked before, but I've learned a bit more
about subversion and it's language so I'd like to see if I get a
different answer by phrasing the question "correctly" (just in case I
was misunderstood before):

1.  Is it possible to export (not checkout) the diff between two
global revision numbers?

2.  Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Subversion Ant task
(and, if possible, good instructions for installing/configuring it)?
My subversion server is a linux machine and I work on an XP machine
that does not have svn installed.  Following up, it definitely appears
that I need the svn command line executables (which makes sense), but
does that mean I need to install the entire svn package?  I do run
Cygwin locally, so I can get it from there easily enough.

Thanks.

Sorry.  This list works differently from others I monitor and I forget
that detail.  I'll try to be more diligent.

I'd seen the question in various shades of similarity, but as a noob,
I wasn't even sure how to ask the question, much less how to recognize
the answer.  I really do try to search the archives first.  Seriously.
 :-)

Thanks again.

Aha. Well it's requested at least every few weeks on the list, so  
maybe one of those people have written a script already. You could  
search the archives to find such posts.

I don't know Ant, but I see people talking about it on the list on  
occasion; perhaps somebody else knows.

If you mean can you check out the files that have changed between two  
revision numbers, then no, and the question is why do you want to do  
that? For example, can rsync be a substitute?

Yes, you need the whole svn package, even if you don't plan to run a  
server.
