Do you mean a context diff with lines staring '+', '-', etc.?

Do you mean the CPAN module? That's not part of Subversion, and it's
an interface to Subversion's delta editor so it's not really
appropriate for applying a context diff.

Perhaps you should look at svk (svk.elixus.org) as it's written by the
person who wrote SVN::Simple::Edit.

The txdelta format is totally different from that of the context diff
produced by 'svn diff'.
