Is there a metadata exclusion filter for the SVN DIFF command?

If you use the --summarize option, then property changes are indicated in the second rather than the first column.

I.e.,

M  URL  -- indicates content change
 M URL  -- property change
MM URL  -- content and property change

It is a bit easier to grep. I guess you could have a two-stage process if you want a full diff - first use summarize to find files with content change, then diff them.

You can pass the svn diff output through 'filterdiff --clean' to remove any extraneous lines including property changes.

Found this while searching through the svn help docs

svn diff --patch-compatible

It's the same as running

svn diff --show-copies-as-adds --ignore-properties
