how do I post a feature request? (svn status -r 400:401)

I want to obtain a list of files that have changed between two versions.    If it was a working copy, I could use  svn status  and  svn diff    With two versions in the repository, I can still use  svn diff -r 400:401  but cannot use  svn status -r 400:401    So: how do I retrieve that list, and how do I make a feature request?

Hi mlg3    "svn log". With the "-v" (verbose) option it'll specify which files changed for each revision. You'll also need the "-r" argument as you've used it in the "svn diff" example.    "svn log" (and a few other SVN commands) will output in XML if you find that easier to work with. For creating a list of changed files you probably just want to use plain text and a mix of grep and uniq to avoid duplicates and white space.    I believe that feature requests can be made at http://subversion.apache.org/issue-tracker.html; however, I'd recommend asking on the [email]users@subversion.apache.org[/email] mailing list first as it's entirely possible that your request has been made previously - there's possibly even an issue raised for it, or there's maybe a good reason why the devs won't handle the request (e.g. the functionality already exists via SVN and the underlying operating system - which would seem to be the case with your request).    Cheers  John

It already exists, assuming you're running a reasonably current Subversion client.    svn diff -r 400:401 --summarize

Remember what should be remembered, and forget what should be forgotten.Alter what is changeable, and accept what is mutable.
