If this is a subversion library why is it returning apr_status_t and
not svn_error_t*? This question applies to most, if not all, the
error return types.

I am suspicious of this function, it does not appear able to return an
error. What is the point of abstracting the datasource, is it to allow
an 'intelligent' datasource to handle large files in chunks? If so
these functions will almost certainly need to be able to return
errors.

Karl already mentioned the assumption about baseline, working
copy. Consider 'svn diff -rREV1:REV2' neither of the files being
compared is part of a baseline or a working copy.

Why don't these functions return an error status? I am assuming that
these functions are responsible for writing the merged file, or the
context diff (that's a guess there's not much documentation). If the
disk fills up while merging an update I want subversion to complain
loudly, I don't want it to carry on!
