Hey! that command is really great and amazing. I too know little bit of programming but was confused.

@Adam right on, my alias looks basically the same:
alias sdm="svn diff|mate"

Also, just to tweak my ego, I’ve got one for running diffstat on my work: alias sdstat="svn diff|diffstat"

You need the “mate” command installed for this, but if you don’t already have/use mate installed you should install it (Help / Terminal Usage).

It’s quite a bit simpler, and avoids the potential race condition! (I multitask!)
diffit () { svn diff |mate -a -; }
