I was one of those maintainers. So you're already wrong there. As I described in my parent comment, I've worked somewhere this was an actual problem I encountered. I was responsible for both maintaining our SVN repository, and our Review Board instance, so I have had to actually deal with this.

- genocidicbunny 1y agoDiffX is a bit younger than the tooling I've written, but I have added custom diffing tools to the SVN client for one team I worked with. I've also written plenty of tools that used the information provided by a VCS (sometimes even poking around in the server-side data), but external to it. So given a few days to refresh my memory on the interfaces, I could probably whip something up for SVN pretty quickly.
