The command
svn log filename
shows a list of revisions in which filename was changed.
I would expect
svn log --diff filename
to only show the differences for that file.
However, it shows the differences for all files changed in each revision.
Is that really intentional?
If so, how can I restrict the differences to just a single file?
I am using:
svn, version 1.7.2 (r1207936)
compiled Nov 29 2011, 22:11:2
Try the following examples:
$ svn log -l2 http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.0.x/@848689
