Not very specific... Files with state "A" are in the diff regression
tests, do those fail? Taking a wild guess, is your problem this one:

 /usr/bin/diff: /foo/bar/.svn/empty-file: No such file or directory

The empty-file feature was added to the admin area when 'svn diff -r'
was introduced (rev 660). If you are using a working copy that
predates this then diff for added/removed files won't work. The
empty-file doesn't get created on the fly because that's not the way
the admin area works (e.g. removing .svn/tmp/text-base will cause
problems).

In
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=49722&listName=dev
I suggested the bash shell commands

   $ cd <some working copy>
   $ find . -name \\.svn -type d -exec echo touch {}/empty-file \;

which will echo a series of touch commands. If those look sensible
then without the echo the command

   $ find . -name \\.svn -type d -exec touch {}/empty-file \;

will create the files.

If you are on a Microsoft box I can't help you, but someone else may
be able to write a suitable script. Or check out a new working copy.
