Integrating w/subversion - does examdiff spawn a process?

Post by chuckf »

I am trying to integrate examdiff pro with subversion.
When I do a svn diff command, using the external diff tool option, svn creates temporary files and calls examdiff. Examdiff pro seems to return control back to svn (spawn a child process?) and svn deletes the temporary files before examdiff opens them.

Thanks

never mind. I must have made a mistake in my bat file programming.
It turns out it takes a simple wrapper to make it work.
diff_wrap.bat:
examdiff %6 %7

call this with svn diff --diff-cmd path/diff_wrap.bat file.c

thanks to Joshua Flanagan...
