NAME

SVN::Web::Diff - SVN::Web action to show differences between file revisions

SYNOPSIS

In config.yaml

  actions:
    ...
    diff:
      class: SVN::Web::Diff
    ...

DESCRIPTION

Returns the difference between two revisions of the same file.

OPTIONS

rev1

The first revision of the file to compare.

rev2

The second revision of the file to compare.

revs

A list of two or more revisions. If present, the smallest number in the list is assigned to rev1 (overriding any given rev1 value) and the largest number in the list is assigned to rev2 (overriding any given rev2 value).

In other words:

    ...?rev1=5;rev2=10

is equal to:

    ...?revs=10;revs=5

This supports the "diff between arbitrary revisions" functionality.

mime

The desired output format. The default is html for an HTML, styled diff using Text::Diff::HTML. The other allowed value is text, for a plain text unified diff.

context

The number of lines of context to show around each change. Uses the global default if not set.

TEMPLATE VARIABLES

rev1

The first revision of the file to compare. Corresponds with the rev1 parameter, either set explicitly, or extracted from revs.

rev2

The second revision of the file to compare. Corresponds with the rev2 parameter, either set explicitly, or extracted from revs.

In addition, if mime is html then raw HTML is returned for immediate insertion in to the template. If mime is text then the template is bypassed and plain text is returned.

EXCEPTIONS

(path %1 does not exist in revision %2)

The given path is not present in the repository at the given revision.

(directory diff requires svk)

Showing the difference between two directories needs the SVN::DiffEditor module.

(two revisions must be provided)

No revisions were given to diff against.

(rev1 and rev2 must be different)

Either only one revision number was given, or several were given, but they're the same number.
