The "log" command

Log command displays a dialog containing the log of the given url. With subversion 1.2 or above it accepts a limit e.g. how many entries it has to display.

Inside that dialog you may select log entries and get the differences between them.

Example 4.1. Display the last 20 commit logs

kdesvn exec log -l 20 -r HEAD:1 myfile.c

Beware of order of revision: You want go from HEAD to START for the LAST one. So you must giverevision HEAD as starting point, otherwise you would get the first 20 entries.

The "diff" command

You get differences between revisions of an item or between to items inside same working copy or repository. When diff'ing revisions of an item that revisions may gived as -r STARTREV:ENDREV. When diffing an item inside a working copy without any revisions it prints the diff against repository.

Example 4.2. Print difference against repository, eg. local changes

kdesvn exec diff myfile.c

Example 4.3. print difference between revisions

kdesvn exec diff -r 21:20 myfile.c

When diffing two items revisions may be appended to url of items. e.g.:

http://server/path/item?rev=HEAD

Example 4.4. Diffing two tagged versions

kdesvn exec diff http://www.alwins-world.de/repos/kdesvn/tags/rel_0_6_2 http://www.alwins-world.de/repos/kdesvn/tags/rel_0_6_3
