This seem to require another treatment... ?

# editing the file and saving changes
nik at vertical:/usr/local/src/grass6_devel$ nano
scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/v.db.reconnect.all.tmp.html 

# excute svn diff to check changes
nik at vertical:/usr/local/src/grass6_devel$ svn diff
scripts/v.db.reconnect.all/

No output!!

What am I doing wrong?
Is something, due to the ".tmp.html" ending, different?
