Save unified diff.

[Andrew MacKenzie]

We would like to be able to get a diff between two files in the repo
browser and save this to a file.

From what I have seen this is only possible on a full directory basis ("mark
for comparison" one dir then "show differences as unified diff").

We then have to awkwardly copy/paste to a new file rather than being able
to save the output.

TortoiseMerge allows us to *see* the unified diff but not save it (or
copy/paste it).

I am using TortoiseSVN 1.5.6 with a 1.4 server (for now).

Is there a way to get what I want that I have overlooked?

Yes it does:
Menu "Edit->Create unified diff file" will ask you for a location to
save the unified diff file.

Ahhh, my bad. I didn't see that (kept looking under "file" for "save as
unified diff" or something).

Thanks for the reply, that works perfectly.
