Peter, it's not clear what you mean by "per diff". The command-line client
svn_cl__diff() calls svn_client_diff[_peg]3() once per explicit target given on
the command line, and then that calls various functions, some of them
recursive, to walk directory trees, and then finally the svn_diff library or an
external diff program is called once per versioned file. Which level of "diff"
did you mean?
