So I just wrote a quick shell script to do this:
#!/bin/bash
# 2008 GPL
if [[ $1 == "" ]]
then
echo "SVN RECURSIVE DIFF"
echo ""
echo "This script will list all svn changes to a file"
echo "the first and last file in the repository"
echo "and a series of diffs that connect them."
echo "IE, you can see the complete evolution of the file."
echo "It's probably best to pipe the output to a file."
echo ""
echo "USE"
echo " svnrdiff"
echo ""
echo "EXAMPLE"
echo " svnrdiff Model/ModelExample.cs > somefile.txt"
echo ""
echo "NOTES"
echo ""
echo "If your log is out of date, use"
echo ""
echo " svn up"
echo ""
echo "If you just want to see who last touched a line, use"
echo ""
echo " svn praise"
exit
fi
v1=""
v2=""
show_current="0"
while read log
do
echo ===================================================================
echo $log
echo ===================================================================
# grab revision numbers of file
v1=$( echo $log | sed -e 's/^r//' -e 's/ .*//' -e 's/-//g' )
if [[ $v2 != "" ]]
then
# print succesive diffs
svn diff -r $v2:$v1 $1
show_current="1"
else
# print first file
svn cat -r $v1 $1
fi
v2=$v1
# list in cronological order (tac)
done < <( svn log $1 | grep -E -e "^r[0-9]+ \| " | tac )
# print last file (if haven't already)
echo ===================================================================
echo "Current snapshot:"
echo ===================================================================
if [[ $show_current == "1" ]]
then
svn cat $1
else
echo "Same as above."
fi
