For Example, when I type <pre class="prettyprint"><code>svn st --show-updates </code></pre> I get <pre class="prettyprint"><code> * 1648648 project/file1 </code></pre> so I know that file1 has changed. I don't want to update just find out what has changed. When I type <pre class="prettyprint"><code>svn diff project/file1 </code></pre> it shows nothing because the file has no local changes. How to make svn diff show remote changes?

simply ask svn to make the diff with the HEAD revision : <pre class="prettyprint"><code>svn diff -r HEAD project/file1 </code></pre>
