Hi, sorry for the dumb question, could anyone give me some hints on how to make diff patches comparing two local directories?

I couldn't figure out how to do it with cvs, and svn seem even less featured on this side.

Do you use other tools?
are they available for windows?
can they discard differences like dos vs. unix eol style?
are they fast/easy to use/automatic enough?

thank you

Under windows for a udiff against the svn working version:
tortoise svn (it's called Create Patch in the folder/file context menu)
