DiffFiles integration with TortoiseSVN

Can anyone suggest suitable pseudo-command line syntax for launching DiffFiles.exe as an external diff viewer for TortoiseSVN. The available variables are listed here:

http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/Tor ... ings-progs

I know I can use at least this:

Code: Select all

DiffFiles.exe %base %mine
but are there also equivalent 'command line' options to alter the headings/titles/revision number display as there are for many other common diff viewers (like the WinMerge example given on that page: WinMerge.exe -e -ub -dl %bname -dr %yname %base %mine)?

Hi,

There are no other command line arguments for DiffFiles.exe, just the two paths for the files to be compared. DiffFiles was not designed to be used as a version control diff tool, just as XML diff (two way diff) and it's not aware of headings/titles/revision numbers.

I'm guessing you are aware of the SVN Client bundled with Oxygen and its builtin diff.

Regards,
Adrian
