Doing diffs between branch & trunk - any way to screen out the property changes?

Hi SmartSVN fans,

When I do a "Compare Repository Directories..." between my dev branch and trunk there are several files that come up as modifed. On further examination, each of these warnings are just changes in the properties. I can see this being an issue that would only grow with sophistication of the project and the length of time before reintegration of the dev branch.

For what I do, I really don't care much about property differences - I really just want to know about actual line/code changes. Is there any preference to change or filter to apply so I don't have to get warned about the meta data?

Thanks,
K

This is currently not possible; but we have the necessary information present
(and already displayed in the "Properties" column). So, similar to the Project
view, we could distinguish between content and property modification. I've
added this feature to the RFE list.
