svnlook diff — Print differences of changed files and properties.
svnlook diff REPOS_PATH
This shows a newly added (empty) file, a modified binary file, and a renamed (that is, copied and deleted) file with modifications:
$ svnlook diff -r 40 /var/svn/repos Copied: trunk/relish.txt (from rev 39, trunk/vendors/deli/pickle.txt) =================================================================== --- trunk/relish.txt (rev 0) +++ trunk/relish.txt 2013-01-29 20:39:17 UTC (rev 40) @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Pickle relish is mostly made from cucumbers.

By default, svnlook diff will treat
copied files very much like any other added file,
displaying in their entirety the contents of the new file
and merely using a different label to draw the copy/add
distinction. However, you can use the
--diff-copy-from option to cause
svnlook diff to consider a copied
file as worthy of mention only if it differs from the file
from which it was copied, and to actually describe those
differences.

Use the --no-diff-deleted option to
silence output regarding deleted files.

Note that in each of the previous examples, when a
file has a nontextual svn:mime-type
property, the differences are not explicitly shown.
