    Joneric,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for the suggestion (and sorry for the belated response).  You
    are correct in suggesting the use of 'svn diff --old OLD --new NEW'
    for examining the differences between a pair of branches.  But as I
    read this section of the book again, I believe that this isn't the
    right scenario for that kind of diff invocation.<br>
    <br>
    If you following the example from its beginning, you will see that
    the user has been instructed to merge the trunk changes to his or
    her branch, and that the branch working copy is, at the point that
    this text appears, currently carrying those changes as local
    modifications.  As such, a simple 'svn diff' in that branch working
    copy will reveal the changes that the text is referring to.<br>
    <br>
    So, yours was a great suggestion in the general sense, but not
    precisely applicable to the part of the book that you propose. 
    Thanks, though!<br>
