You're thinking about Subversion's specific implementation details, while
I'm referring to the user interface.
"diff -c" says "give me change 37", and "log -r" says, "give me the log
for change 37". Which is why the fact that "diff -r" does something
inconsistent -- by implicitly creating set of N changes -- so rubs me the
wrong way.
