svn_diffRecursively diffs two paths
&reftitle.description;
arraysvn_diffstringpath1intrev1stringpath2intrev2
Recursively diffs two paths, path1 and
path2.
This is not a general-purpose diff utility. Only local files
that are versioned may be diffed: other files will fail.
&reftitle.parameters;
path1
First path to diff. This can be a URL to a file/directory in an SVN
repository or a local file/directory path.
&svn.relativepath;
If a local file path has only backslashes and no forward slashes,
this extension will fail to find the path. Always
replace all backslashes with forward slashes when using this
function.
rev1
First path's revision number. Use SVN_REVISION_HEAD
to specify the most recent revision.
path2
Second path to diff. See path1 for description.
rev2
Second path's revision number. See rev1
for description.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
Returns an array-list consisting of two streams: the first is the diff output
and the second contains error stream output. The streams can be
read using fread. Returns &false; or &null; on
error.
The diff output will, by default, be in the form of Subversion's
custom unified diff format, but an
external
diff engine may be
used depending on Subversion's configuration.

Basic example
This example demonstrates the basic usage of this function, and
the retrieval of contents from the stream:

Diffing two revisions of a repository path
This example implements a wrapper function that allows a user
to easily diff two revisions of the same item using an external
repository path (the default syntax is somewhat verbose):

Portably diffing two local files
This example implements a wrapper function that portably
diffs two local files, compensating for the realpath
fix and the backslashes bug:
