Note that it doesn't do quite what Peter's plan in the issue says; that
confused me for a while.

This is relevant to the present discussion about what "svn diff" ought to be
doing <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2005-10/0359.shtml>. We should consider
whether the same interface and functionality is wanted for "svn diff".

That is, without any flags, it makes "svnlook diff" print an all-lines-added
diff for an added or copied (added with history) file. Previously, it had been
inconsistent.

I assume that for a copied but unmodified file this will print a header
indicating that it is copied, but obviously no diff of the contents.

I think we need a bit more documentation than the current "--help" output:
