The "working compared to URL" diff (diff -rN) works like update, it
describes the working copy to the server and gets a REPORT(?) to
convert it to the given revision. I don't think it calls
RA->get_file directly, I think the diffs are in the REPORT.

The "URL to URL" diff (diff -rN:M) does call RA->get_file, twice for
each file.
