mailer.py diff in windows

["Daniell, Casey B" <Ca...@reyrey.com>]

Ok, sorry about this dumby question #2 of the day, I couldn't find
anything on mailing list about this.
 
How do I get the mailer.py tool to email diffs under windows? Obviously,
windows doesn't have /usr/bin/diff built in, how do I call out to
Araxis, Beyond Compare, Windiff or some other standard windows tool? 
 
I see the line I need to change, but can't figure out how to get it
changed properly (yes, I am using the full path to Araxix Compare, but I
am not wed to that tool).
 
Ideas? Solutions?
 
Thanks
 
Casey

The easiest way is to comment out the diff_command line in order to use 
Python's internal diff library.  We have just done the same thing here.

Try using gnuwin32 diff
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
it should be more compatible with what the script expects.

IIRC mailer.py uses svn's own internal diff to show file differences, 
and only uses the diff command to get property differences.  It's been a 
while since it was in the source though.

 From my mailer.conf:

# On Windows, you can use the GNU DiffUtils package from
# http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm
diff = C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\bin\diff.exe -u -L %(label_from)s -L 
%(label_to)s %(from)s %(to)s
