Diff and merge pass the ignore_ancestry flag to dir-delta, which tells
that sucker to not pay attention to relatedness, and just do a
path-based delta. If you do what I did above, you should see that
delta.c:add_file_or_dir() is never called, and that delta_files() is
always called with non-NULL source and target paths (an indication
that these are not adds).

It's not the output that I'm concerned with. It's the extra work
happening under the hood. If you still have your test scenario above,
set a breakpoint on repos_diff.c:window_handler. If you even once see
a non-NULL window, Subversion is being inefficient. And that's what I
was seeing.
