"TortoiseSVN -> Diff", the very first thing on the menu.

By default, does that compare against HEAD or against the
revision that was checked out?

It compares your working copy changes to the checked-out revision
which is actually stored on your hard disk in the .svn directory.

Now, if you right-click on a file in the Windows Explorer and choose
"TortoiseSVN->Show Log," the log messages history for that file will
appear. In the top window area, which shows all of the revisions, if
you right-click on a revision, you can diff any desired revision with
the working copy (select "compare with working copy"). Finally, if you
select a revision in the top window part (left-click), a list of
"actions" associated with that revision appear, usually in the form of
"modified" and a file path (in the repo). Right-click the "action" and
you can get a diff ("show changes").

I am convinced that anyone who doesn't think TortoiseSVN doesn't do
what they want to do simply hasn't spent enough time with it.


I'd be happier with Tortoise if I could figure out (and fix) the
problem that seems to make my shared folders read-only. It
wasn't a problem before Tortoise, but now I have to reboot frequently to
be able to move and delete files on shared folders. Windows
shared folders are an essential part of the way I use the
3 XP PCs and laptops and the linux box on the local network.
Until I understand what is going on, Tortoise will be confined
to the single PC where it now resides.

On a happier note, I've got UBUNTU linux running in VirtualBox
on the PC that has all the source files. Now I don't have to use
the Linux box to compile the GCC-Arm programs that were
it's raison-d'etre for the last year. With a little more work,
I may be able to leave the linux laptop at home and only take
one WinXp laptop with VirtualBox when I travel.
