Simulate SVN diff using plain diff

Hi,

svn diff does not work very well with 2 local folders, so I am trying to do this diff using diff locally.

since there's a bunch of meta files in an svn directory, I want to do a diff that excludes everything EXCEPT *.java files. there seems to be only an --exclude option, so I'm not sure how to do this.

perhaps, we can use find and execute diff on each .java
or
we can do a grep after we get our result (filter to only .java diffs), but that'd be tricky.

this is what I have so far.
diff -r --exclude=.svn dir1/ dir2/ > diffs.txt

there are simply too many types of files to filter using only the --exclude option.

anyone have thoughts?

NAME
Config::Model::models::Debian::Dpkg::Source::Options - Configuration class Debian::Dpkg::Source::Options VERSION
version 2.021 DESCRIPTION
Configuration classes used by Config::Model list of long options that should be automatically prepended to the set of command line options of a dpkg-source -b or dpkg-source --print-format call. Options like --compression and --compression-level are well suited for this file. Elements diff-ignore - perl regexp to filter out files for the diff perl regular expression to match files you want filtered out of the list of files for the diff.This is very helpful in cutting out extraneous files that get included in the diff, e.g. if you maintain your source in a revision control system and want to use a checkout to build a source package without including the additional files and directories that it will usually contain (e.g. CVS, .cvsignore, .svn/). The default regexp is already very exhaustive, but if you need to replace it, please note that by default it can match any part of a path, so if you want to match the begin of a filename or only full filenames, you will need to provide the necessary anchors (e.g. '(^|/)', '($|/)') yourself.Optional. Type uniline. extend-diff-ignore - Perl regexp to extend the diff-ignore setup The perl regular expression specified will extend the default regular expression associated to diff-ignore by concatenating "|regexp" to the default regexp. This option is convenient to exclude some auto-generated files from the automatic patch generation.Optional. Type uniline. SEE ALSO
