It hadn't occurred to me that it mattered if the destination is
versioned. The method I was envisioning was:
When running 'svn diff' on a link, determine the textyness of the
link target on the fly, using the same svn_io_detect_mimetype() method
that we use at add/import time, and do not show the diff if the target
is not texty.
But now that you mention it, we should treat versioned destinations
differently from unversioned ones. If the dest is versioned, then
just determine textyness by examining the file's properties as usual;
if it's unversioned, then follow the above recipe.

Well -- hmmm, and that would seem to be the recipe implied in the
original report, too. Vincent? Can you reproduce this bug with
Subversion 1.2 or with head of trunk?
