It should be universal by now, but it isn't. I was using editors back in my DOS days that could do this, but it seems like half these spiffy GUI IDEs I have to use can't.

I've been wishing for 'svn diff -w' since starting with svn, and didn't see that I could get the feature externally. I'll stick with 'svn diff' for day to day use, since I still want to know about whitespace changes, but I've now got an sdw alias for when I need to see past them: alias sdw='svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff --extensions -bdtuwB' I added -u. I really like unified diffs. > *Yes, I'm still wedded to doing editing in a Windows program, I've > been using it since 1988, back when it was a simple DOS program > written in Turbo Pascal, sorry, I've got too much momentum to get > serious about learning vi for more than the basics.
