error on "svn diff" on uncommitted links to directories

Hi,

I've been playing around with the versioning of symbolic links in subversion
1.1.0RC2, but I experienced a problem. The command "svn diff" aborts if
there is a added but uncommitted link to a directory in the working copy.
Here is a typescript of a sample session:

    mbr:/tmp$ svnadmin create test
    mbr:/tmp$ svn co file://$PWD/test wc
    Checked out revision 0.
    mbr:/tmp$ cd wc
    mbr:/tmp/wc$ svn mkdir a
    A a
    mbr:/tmp/wc$ ln -s a b
    mbr:/tmp/wc$ svn add b
    A b
    mbr:/tmp/wc$ svn status
    A a
    A b
    mbr:/tmp/wc$ svn diff
    svn: Can't read file 'b': Is a directory

Is this normal behaviour? I used the following svn version:

    mbr:/tmp/wc$ svn --version
    svn, version 1.1.0 (Release Candidate 2)
