That's fine, and thanks for asking. > Does the response on that thread indicate that this is not a bug and > therefore will not be fixed/changed? No, in that thread Bert was just describing the current technical situation behind the current behaviour. It is a bug and I would like it to be fixed. I filed issue #4567, "svn diff --summarize with --ignore-properties or --properties-only": http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4567 It merely requires somebody to invest the necessary time and effort to design and implement it. > If [...] that's the intended behavior, then why doesn't it throw an error > message at the user when using these two flags together instead of silently > ignoring "--ignore-properties"? > Please consider either adding this "filtering", or an error message in future > releases. Will do. Your enquiry has sparked some discussion on #svn-dev IRC channel where Stefan Sperling has already proposed a patch to implement it: http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/svn-dev?date=2015-03-23#l35 It looks very likely that we will. Thanks for the prodding! - Julian
