These docstrings are autogenerated by SWIG, and can be quite
misleading. If we can't find a way to fix them, we might end up
turning them off because they tend to be confusing. You're better off
looking at the original documentation from
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/include/, following
the guidelines at
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/python/README

Actually, you don't need to pass in a report baton at all -- contrary
to this misleading docstring, the "reporter" and "reporter_baton" are
actually returned to you from the method.
Here's an example:
e_ptr, e_baton = delta.make_editor(editor)
reporter, reporter_baton = ra.do_diff2(self.ra_ctx, fs_revnum,
REPOS_URL + "/trunk/README.txt", 0, 0, 1, REPOS_URL +
"/trunk/README.txt", e_ptr, e_baton)
reporter.set_path(reporter_baton, "", fs_revnum, True, None)
reporter.finish_report(reporter_baton)
For a more complete example, see the test_do_diff2 test, which I just
added to http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/python/tests/ra.py
Cheers,
David
