I have something similar for some years now.

Only I use vim to display the diff…

Color did not work for me with less. Adding the following line before your or Diegos lines did the trick:

alias less=”less -R” # Enable colors in less.

Oh, nice.

I currently have:

function svnless() { svn diff $@ | vim – -R }

but i beleive yours will be faster :)

@Flameeyes Ah, nice to hear from you again! And indeed your version is better. Adjusted my .alias….

You might also consider this ;)

svn() { if [[ $1 == "diff" ]]; then /usr/bin/svn "$@" | colordiff | less else /usr/bin/svn "$@" fi }

this way it’s quite transparent ;)

I prefer diff-cmd=kdiff3

At least for coloring you don’t need an alias:

Edit your ~/.subversion/config and set

diff-cmd = colordiff

And don’t you need less -r for coloring to work?

Inspired by “git diff”?
Thanks for sharing, somehow I did not think that far until today.
