:-) See http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=647.
We don't invoke patch at all, and we only invoke `diff' for "svn
diff", for which one can already pass arbitrary options.
For your application, diff3 is the issue.
If you can find the parameters you want for diff3, and work out if/how
they will/won't interfere with the parameters we _must_ pass to diff3,
then we can fix this, yeah...
