I tried: bash-2.05b$ svn diff Makefile.in svn+ssh://amylaar@gcc.gnu.org/svn/ gcc/trunk/gcc/Makefile.in@106390

But that gives me an error message:

svn: Target lists to diff may not contain both working copy paths
and URLs

This works for us:

svn diff --old svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/tags/gcc_4_0_1_release/ gcc/file.c --new file.c

for example.

svn needs to go on a long command line diet,

True. However, it does need some way to differentiate between url->url, url->wc, and wc->url commands, so even if there was an SVNROOT, you'd still have to specify it on the command lines :)

it is seriously no fun
to repeat things, over, and over. In cvs, I used the equivalent of
svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc once a year or so, with svn, it is just
annoying.

There's been talk of a DEFAULTREPO or allowing substitutions and aliases in the config file, or something
