Good enough.
My only point is, if a user knows the paths to the diff targets, and
has them locally, then the user doesn't really need help from svn.
(The reason we provide working-file vs text-base diffs is because
that's a very common case, and the user shouldn't have to know where
text bases live anyway.)
