Change default SVN diffing tool

Question

Following a blog, I created a batch file, wm.bat:

\"d:\\svnroot\\external\\winmerge\\WinMerge.exe\" /B /WAIT \"d:\\svnroot\\external\\winmerge\\WinMergeU.exe         


        

Answer 1

For Mac::

open this file : ~/.subversion/config

find and uncomment line containing : diff-cmd ( by removing # from start )

in front of diff-cmd, give the name of the diff tool, like in my case i was using araxis merge diff tool, so it looked like this :

diff-cmd=/Applications/Araxis Merge.app/Contents/Utilities/araxissvndiff

After this whenever you will run svn diff on terminal, if will show difference of the files in that tool

make sure there is no space before and after diff-cmd word.
