Could anyone explain the color codes when doing a diff in SVN, i.e. some lines are marked as red, yellow, blue, etc.

Answer 1

Check the TortoiseSVN Manual: TortoiseMerge | Colour Settings Page.

This is the default color scheme (see it in TortoiseMerge | File | Settings | Colors):

It also makes sense to know the line status icons meaning.

for high contrast color scheme in windows, one can change the colors to red for removal and green for addition (and gray for others) – Sphingosine

@Manus this is a fantastic answer. +1 for line status icons link as well! – Rapine

How do you even get to that context window? – Disused

@RayCheng Start TortoiseMerge and go to File | Settings | Colors. – Manus
