Vladmir,

You're asking the server to compare two trees, namely '/' and '/'. Do
you have any idea how *big* those trees are? We have the /trunk tree,
and at least 4 copies of it in /branches, and 2 more copies of it in
/tags. And each source tree is itself pretty large, over 800 files
and directories to compare.

If you run

    svn diff -r2674:2675 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk

...it only takes 12 seconds.

If you run 'svn diff -v -r2675', you'd see exactly which files
changed, and might be able to refine the diff even further, to search
a smaller tree.
