Subversion: How to find the differences between two tags?

Question

I know that a diff between two tags lists the \'files\' which have been changed between those two tags by the following method.

svn diff tag1 tag2 |grep In         


        

Answer 1

You can first find the revisions of the tags:

svn info http://svn.twig-project.org/tags/RELEASE_0_9_7 | grep 'Last Changed Rev'
Last Changed Rev: 331

svn info http://svn.twig-project.org/tags/RELEASE_0_9_8 | grep 'Last Changed Rev'
Last Changed Rev: 343

You're not really looking for a diff, you are looking for a log. So do a verbose log between those revisions and you will get the commits including changed files.

svn log -v -q -r 331:343 http://svn.twig-project.org/trunk
