The word "force" does not need to be part of the name, any more than we need to write "--force-interactive" or "--force-non-recursive" or "--force-revision=REV". I would have thought "--diff-cmd=" would be a good UI for overriding a config-file diff-cmd option. And, whatever the option is called, we will be introducing the same for "svn diff", won't we? > I don't understand why this option is necessary for 'svn log'? > Where does 'svn log' do a diff? That's a recent new feature in trunk. - Julian
