It sounds like this only really is an issue with one (or a few) files, but it
is a valid request (now you got me worried about what will happen with my
code :->). Suggestion: would it be possible to configure some of the params
as the file's properties? For example: "svn:diff-context=8" for the
offending file, with default of "3". When diffing multiple files or an
entire tree, svn would use the greatest value of svn:diff-context out of
those files.

This would make it so nobody has to remember the params every time they diff,
and I think it would just be pretty darn cool. Maybe this is not feasible,
just thought I'd through it out there for discussion.
