First sorry about my poor English.

I used to use at git.
“git diff -rHEAD:HEAD^

But svn doesn’t have HEAD^

How can I indicate the previous of HEAD revision number easily?

Thanks in advance.

It is a Two-Step Process

It looks like SVN doesn’t support that type of syntax. The manual and other posts online seem to support this (see below).

#!/bin/bash
REPO=http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn
HEAD=`svn info $REPO | sed -E -n 's%^Revision: %%p'`
svn diff -c-$HEAD $REPO
