> svn needs to go on a long command line diet, The documentation does suggest the use of environment variables, but it would be nice if there were a .svnrc that let you create shortcuts for the command line.
Like, if you could add alias 401 svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/tags/gcc_4_0_1_release then do svn diff --old svn:401/gcc/file.c --new file.c
