diff -u -b

I"m used to call diff with -u and -b as arguments, but I can't
seem to get svn to accept that. When I try it I get:

% svn diff -x -u -x -b vc-svn.el
svn: The specified diff option is not supported
svn: '-b' is not supported
% svn diff -x "-u -b" vc-svn.el
svn: The specified diff option is not supported
svn: '-b' is not supported
% svn diff --diff-cmd diff -x "-u -b" vc-svn.el
Index: vc-svn.el
===================================================================
svn: Error calling external program
svn: 'diff' returned 255
%

[...]

Oh now I found something:

% svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "-u -b" vc-svn.el

That's pretty inconvenient. I shouldn't have to give the full path.
And I think the built-in diff should accept the -b argument.
