Question

Using svn, is it possible to see the differences in a file from the state of the same of file in it’s last last update?

For example I checkout a file – foo.txt – that file contained the text ‘hello’ I then add another line – ‘goodbye’. I would like to see that I had added that line.

How can I see between my file and the one that was pulled? I do not want the differences between my local file and the central file.

Hope that makes sense.

If I understood correctly, you want svn diff:

I:\>svn status
M       sql\settings.ini

I:\>svn diff sql\settings.ini
Index: sql/settings.ini
