Format SVN diff as a side-by-side comparison

Question

I wanted to produce a side by side SVN diff instead of the usual SVN diff output. Is there any way to get this sort of output ?

Answer 1

You can specify a custom diff command:

svn --diff-cmd "diff" --extensions "-y" diff

(Or then perhaps even use tools like sdiff)

Answer 2

svn diff --diff-cmd 'diff' -x '--side-by-side -W230' FILENAME

Tune the "-W230" to whatever takes full use of your screen width

Answer 3

cdiff can display side by side, incremental, and colorful diff, see its home page for detail and demo at https://github.com/ymattw/cdiff
