"svn diff" vs "diff" - want diff to look like svn diff

This is a little off topic but it is driving me nuts and I don't know where else to turn.

I would like to have the output of gnu's "diff" to look like the output of "svn diff". Now I am basing this on the assumption that svn diff is based on diff and therefore should be able to produce the same output. For some reason, I can't get the right combination of switches to do this.

A list of the needed options for diff, or a good diff reference (not the man page, I already have that ;-), would be apreciated. I would also love a guide to what I can do with diff.

Example of what I am getting:

c:\dev> svn diff rate.src
Index: rate.src
===================================================================
