How about a new command that requires exactly two targets (maybe
allowing one to default to the current directory). Then we don't need
more options.

   $ svn xxx target1 target2 # case 1
   $ svn xxx -rREV target1 target2 # case 2
   $ svn xxx -rREV1:REV2 target1 target2 # case 3

Target can be a wc path or an URL. Cases 1 and 2 are straightforward,
the only "tricky" bit is that in case 3 REV1 applies to target 1 and
REV2 applies to target2.

What could 'svn xxx' be? Well, two things come to mind

   $ svn rdiff target1 target2
   $ svn compare target1 target2
