I think your syntax is right, judging from 'svn help diff' -- Philip
Martin will correct me if wrong. I think it's a known bug that not
everything promised by the syntax is actually delivered yet.
(Issue 1093 isn't about that, though, it's about guessing the URL from
just the working copy path, and Philip's comments there explain why
this practise is at least questionable.)
