I didn't notice this the first time it came by. Diffs between two
unrelated files tend to be kind of boring ("delete all that old stuff,
and add all this new stuff"). That's why the svndiff random-test code
doesn't pick two sets of random data; it makes up one set of random data
and then makes random changes. Not the most comprehensive of tests, but
much more comprehensive than diffing unrelated material.
(And, just because the diffs are different doesn't mean our diff is
buggy. But Greg noticed that later on in his own message.)
