I don't see how Subversion can determine that one script needs a terminal while another can use a file, only the user knows that. It's also hard to fix 1.8, how do we pass the information into the client library without changing the API? Perhaps we could recognise a special part of the command name or a special external parameter, so --diff-cmd svn:interactive:myscript or --diff-cmd myscript -x svn:interactive gets a terminal while --diff-cmd myscript gets a file. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco | Non-Stop Data www.wandisco.com
