I have configured svn to open differences using the text (i.e. not graphical) version of vim. Whenever I'm satisfied viewing the changes of the current file I quit vim -- with :qa -- and the next file is opened up. How can I abort this process without the need to view all of the files? (I don't know if this is something that must be done within vim or svn.)

1I don't have an answer, but I tried some experiments using Perforce's `p4 diff` command. I first tried Ingo's `:cquit` suggestion, but p4 ignored the return status and continued with the next file. I then executed `:!ps -fH` to find the PID of Vim's parent process, p4, and then executed `:! kill pid`, where `pid` is the PID found from `ps`. That killed p4, but it also left my terminal in an odd state. I had to execute `reset` at the shell prompt to restore it. As I said, not a good solution, but maybe it will stimulate some others' thoughts. – garyjohn Dec 05 '12 at 23:36

I don't know how exactly the invocation of Vim from svn works (and you didn't list your configuration so that I could quickly try this), but you could try quitting Vim with :cquit, which sends an error code back to the invoking process. Maybe that causes svn to abort the loop.
