Check diff against file on the server

Question

I have a working copy of a repository on my machine, and I know that it has been updated on the server. I would like to know how to get the difference between the new version an

Answer 1

The working copy is revision BASE. The latest copy from the repository is revision HEAD. This will compare your working copy against the HEAD revision:

svn diff -r HEAD 

Actually that'll spit the changes out in reverse, i.e. it tells you how to go from HEAD to BASE. So technically you want:

svn diff -r BASE:HEAD 

Can you spare the keyboard strokes? Only you and your deity know that answer.
