No. Well, maybe you could do something like svn diff | grep ^Index to obtain a list of filenames from the full diff output? > 2.

Can this be suppresed? Not in Subversion 1.7, unfortunately. You will be able to suppress this in Subversion 1.8, which will ship with new --ignore-properties and --properties-only options to make everyone happy. For the time being, there is another third-party utility called filterdiff which might be able to get rid of the property diffs. It is part of the patchutils package, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/patchutils/ You could also write your own post-processing filter. > 3.

Not sure. Did these files also receive mergeinfo changes perhaps?
