Or,
    svn diff --diff-cmd=diff --extensions="-up" [TARGET...]

According to HACKING, it ought to put a colon after the parenthesised function
name.

It ought to be noted that the generated list of function names is only as
accurate as the output of "diff -p", which is not very accurate - e.g. for
changes to a doc string appearing before a function, it generally outputs the
name of the _previous_ function.
