How can I ignore eol changes and all white space in svn?


Combining svn diff --ignore-eol-style and --ignore-all-space is not working:

$ svn diff -x -w --ignore-eol-style -r 1143:1177 somefile
svn: invalid option: --ignore-eol-style

And,

$ svn diff -x --ignore-eol-style -x --ignore-all-space -r 1143:1177 somefile

Only executes the last option: ignore-all-space

Anybody dealt with this before?


Solution

  • The svn command seems to honour only one -x option. This means, you must/can combine all options into one argument:

        svn diff -x "-w --ignore-eol-style"
    

    I did not test whether this is also true for external diff-tools.
