Use vimdiff as Subversion diff command

First create a script svbdiff inside the ~/.vim/scripts/ directory that contains the following

#!/bin/bash
shift 5;/usr/bin/vimdiff -f "$@"

and make it executable:

chmod +x ~/.vim/scripts/svndiff

Then create an alias in your ~/.bashrc file like:

alias svndiff="svn diff --diff-cmd ~/.vim/scripts/svndiff"

Now you can go to any Subversion repository and display file differences with

svndiff h264.c

The screenshot above shows the diff output of the h264.c of libavcodec. Make sure you have a color scheme that highlights the file differences. The screenshot above uses the inkpot color scheme.
