Paolo Bonzini - Re: svn diff branch woprking copy against mainline? (original) (raw)

Also, you could consider stealing some ideas from Perforce, where the command would be something like

p4 diff file.c@gcc_4_0_1_release file.cand the RCS figures out how to map the label to the repository version.
Basically, the # and @ characters are special; # is used to introduce
a revision number (the global revision number), and a number of things
can follow @, like a label, or a date.
