Description

As the picture shows, I always got a message "context not available".
My server is ubuntu 12.04LTS, and my work pc is windows xp/7.
The codes were written in C++ with Visual studio 2010.
We create a diff with arc diff command.
And I've written a small program to transfer all our code into UTF-8(No-BOM).
Is it normal?Why? or how can I handle this situation?
Thanks a lot.

What VCS are you using - svn , git or mercurial?

Also in your work PC, where is arc run - cygwin or cmd prompt?

Arcanist only uploads the diff, context is generated by having the repository tracked in Diffusion.

This isn't actually true. T5029 discusses building this feature, but we don't currently have it and it's very, very complex so we're unlikely to have it for a long time.

The context is generated by running the underlying diff with a -U999999 or similar flag which adds entire files as context.

I use svn for version control and I use cmd prompt to run arc

You can use gnu-diff and a workaround to get the full context in svn diff.
Something on the lines of [T2465#24935]
