User should be able to use an external diff tool to view changes to
individual files.

This of course means, that a list of the files has to be built up, instead
of the simple text box which is displayed right now.

This would do wonders to usability.

Thanks.

    The external command for using WinMerge with TortoiseSVN is for example:
    WinMergeU.exe /e /ub /wl %base %mine

    can do absolutely nothing with.
    To get UI diff tools to show a diff, we'd have to fetch the modified files twice
    (commited revision and the revision before that). That's something that is not
    implemented (and maybe never will).

    How about the ability to generate a URL to the ViewVC diff page to see the diff?

    After all there is a box for an external util - Does anyone know of one (Freeware
    preferably)?

    for TSVN and use that to show the diff.

    I know this doesn't really solve this issue for those users who don't have TSVN
    installed. But the CommitMonitor must be kept small. You don't want a memory hog
    running all the time just to monitor repositories.
