Hmmm. The adaptation to SVN has not been very complete...
If I look at that script, I see:
   my $s = "cvs diff -b -u -r $plrev -r $enrev $enfname";
            ^^^
and
   checkdiff("install.$lang.xml", "install.en.xml");
currently gives an error; it should probably be
   checkdiff("build/install.$lang.xml", "build/install.en.xml");

Also, I have seen the revision number of the en docs change without the 
content of documents changing (probably due to an reorganization or 
something), so it would be nice to also have an option to automagically 
update the revision numbers in translations if there are no real changes.

Anyway, I have found an 'svn st -u' for the en/ directory and 'svn diff -r 
<revision>' can also provide the information. You just have to be careful to 
run these before you do 'svn up'.

(Maybe I'll give updating the doc-check script a go next week.)

Cheers.
