rdiff

errors

• one of csid, r1 and r2, or D1 and D2 must be given

This command produced diffs of files, similar to CVS's rdiff command. It is particularly useful for producing patchsets.

Usage

This command can be executed by submitting a correctly formatted url. If successful, it returns a text/plain diff. With no parameters given, this help is returned. This command has several formats:

Diff of changeset csid:

https://fisheye.openacs.org/rdiff/repname/path?csid=csid&diffopts

Diff between two tags/revisions A and B:

https://fisheye.openacs.org/rdiff/repname/path?r1=A&r2=B&diffopts

Options

repname

Specifies the repository to access. Required.

path

(Optional) Returned files are constrained to be below this directory. If path is a file, then only the diff for that file is shown.

The diffopts control how the diff is produced, and are optional. Defaults are specified below.

R

Process directories under path recursively (default).

l

Do not recurse into directories under path.

u

u=NUM

Output NUM (default is 3) lines of unified context. This is the only output format supported.

w

Ignore all white space.

b

Ignore changes in the amount of white space.

B

Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.

Comments

For single-valued parameters, you may specify the name of the option as its value. For example ?R and ?R=R are equivalent.
