I agree, that's more generic. > Then the question is, is it useful to have a dedicated command-line > option as well? I think perhaps not.

I still find having the explicit command line variant useful as most (or all?) other diff related options are also there. When the default stays as it is and files will be normalized then a user unaware of this behaviour might wonder what happened. My first choice would be to look at 'svn help diff' to see if there is something that explains this. Matthias -- Matthias Gerstner, Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Inf.
