Severity: normal
In cvs one could do 'cvs diff -D "December"' to get a diff.
In svn, "svn help diff" says:
-r [--revision] arg : ARG (some commands also take ARG1:ARG2 range)
A revision argument can be one of:
NUMBER revision number
"{" DATE "}" revision at start of the date
However all of the following give an error:
svn diff -r {December}
svn diff -r "{December}"
svn diff -r "\{December\}"
svn diff -r \{December\}
svn diff -r December
svn diff -r {{December}}
svn diff -r "{{December}}"
svn diff -r "{" December "}"
nor does it work when I give an exact date, like "December 1, 2005", or a
"/bin/date" date, like "1 day ago".
This is a major problem for me. It seems like either this option is
completely broken or the help is just wrong.
