Meld as SVN diff

The default Subversion's diff program can be replaced by, e.g., meld. In fact, it may also be used as merge program, but we do not address to this issue here.

To use melt as diff program, open with a text editor the file

~/.subversion/config

and replace or add the line

diff-cmd=meld

Then the command

svn diff -r v1:v2 FILE &

will compare the versions v1 and v2 of FILE using meld.
