Well diff works as expected here

svn diff http://localhost:8888/repo/branch/ab http://localhost:8888/repo/branch/ac
Index: foo

Just checking some basic stuff: the symptoms you describe will occur
if branch1 and branch2 don't have a common ancestor. It is not enough
that the directory trees have files with the same names, they have to
have been created via 'svn cp'. Without a common ancestor you get
something like

svn diff http://localhost:8888/repo/branch/ab http://localhost:8888/repo/branch/not_a_branch
