That's > ridiculous IMNSHO. Without making any comment on the rest of your message... svn uses its own internal diff library and, as far as I know, doesn't require any installed diff utility at all. At one point, there *was* a dependency on an external diff program but that hasn't been the case for awhile. (I removed the port dependency about four months ago.)
