It downloads two revisions (svn) of a file and compares them using a diff tool of choice: To combine the powers of all three I created a simple (Bash) wrapper. Some of you will probably prefer Meld, which is a visual diff and merge tool. Vimdiff -O -c 'set diffopt+=iwhite,filler' FILE1 FILE2 Svn diff -diff-cmd diff -x -uw -r REV1:REV2 FILE | colordiff Īn other great tool is vimdiff, which starts Vim as usual, and additionally sets it up for viewing the differences between files. Which is even better in combination with colordiff: Svn diff -diff-cmd diff -x -uw -r REV1:REV2 FILE application/octet-stream /my/full/path>svn commit -m "Property change from binary file into no longer having the mime-type property set (which didn't allow me to do a diff on the file)." file.ext Sending file.While applying some (550) changesets I needed some good tools to show me the differences between files and revisions. Now, if we do an "svn diff" on the file (which we couldn't do before because the file's MIME type was set to binary): Property 'svn:mime-type' deleted from 'file.ext'. my/full/path>svn propdel svn:mime-type file.ext The troublesome property is the mime-type, which we delete as follows: No changes to property 'svn:mime-type' on 'file.ext' If you only opened it up in an editor to have a good look at the contents but didn't make (or save) any changes, then when you close the editor, the output will likely be: Now you can choose to edit these properties: On Windows you might set this to Notepad for instance. In the example, it is the editor "emacs". The above sets an editor to edit the svn properties with. Svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR is set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found /my/full/path>export EDITOR=emacs ![]() my/full/path>svn propedit svn:mime-type file.ext To view a listing of the svn properties on this file: You may want to do this if a regular text file in the svn repository is marked as a binary file and therefore won't let you do an "svn diff" to compare the text contents.Ĭannot display: file marked as a binary type. To resolve conflicts in a file marked with a C The second is the file as it is in the svn repository.) The first is your local version containing the changes you made. (If you had done an "svn update" on files that turned out to conflict, the action would have created a couple of additional versions of the file: conflict-filename.mine and conflict-filename. Both the changes you made and the conflicting changes in the repository will be embedded inside such special marks. If you ever encounter a file in conflict and you view it in an editor, you will see that conflicted lines will be marked with = and >. ![]() The update could not successfully merge the corresponding lines as it didn't know which lines to keep and which to overwrite: the lines are in conflict. It means that changes to the same file on the same lines had been committed to the svn repository as what you have been working on. If you performed an "svn update" on some files (or on a folder) and one or more came up with the status C then you have a conflict. Svn commit - m "message" Adding a new file to the repositoryĭoing an "svn update" may indicate files are in conflict as well. ![]() To perform these svn operations on more more than 1 file in one go, separate them by spaces: Where the message string is one that explains what changes have been made, why you are committing the file or what purpose a new file serves. Check that only the new code you have added is the sum total of the differences. ![]() This diff now shows up the differences between your current file and what's there now in the repository. However, conflicts may arise if any of the lines that have been modified on your machine have been changed in the repository since you last checked it out/svn-updated it. Your own changes take precedence and these are preserved. It will merge changes made to the file in the repository with the changes you have on your machine. Will show you the changes you've made since you last did an svn update on the file. Then svn update the file, perform the svn diff on the updated file, then svn commit it with a message: Perform an svn diff it to look over the changes made since you last updated the file.
