Subversion: How to find the differences between two tags?

Question

Hi

I know that a diff between two tags lists the 'files' which have been changed between those two tags by the following method.

svn diff tag1 tag2 |grep Index:

Is there any property in Subversion or some technique to find out revision numbers which caused those files to change (i.e differences between tag1 version of the file and tag2 version of the same file)?

Thx Vandana

You can first find the revisions of the tags:

svn info http://svn.twig-project.org/tags/RELEASE_0_9_7 | grep 'Last Changed Rev'
Last Changed Rev: 331

svn info http://svn.twig-project.org/tags/RELEASE_0_9_8 | grep 'Last Changed Rev'
Last Changed Rev: 343

You're not really looking for a diff, you are looking for a log. So do a verbose log between those revisions and you will get the commits including changed files.

svn log -v -q -r 331:343 http://svn.twig-project.org/trunk
