#111 Compare code changes between two svn repo branches / tags

[Anonymous]

Could we have a way to automatically compare two svn (or GIT or any other scm) repo branches and/or tags to get a sense of how many lines of code was actually modified/added?

Yes, this is possible... depending on your definition of "automatic". cloc can report the lines of code that were modified/added between two directories (or archive files, or one of each). The part that remains for you to do is add automation to export/clone/check out the two repo branches and save the results to two directories, then invoke cloc on these two directories.

cloc can't compute diffs given URLs pointing to two repos.
