The iterative case is really quite useful. For example, say I've
changed lots of files in my WC, but I only want to get the diffs for
foo.c and bar.h. There are lots of times I want to do this. Then, with
cvs,
        % cvs diff foo.c bar.h > patch
does just what I want.
        % svn diff foo.c > patch && svn diff bar.h >> patch
is lots less user-friendly.
