I like the idea of making the output from 'svn diff' deterministic, and
I'm personally not too bothered about the precise order, or whether it
matches the ordering of other svn subcommands (though it might be nice
if it did).

I am curious about the ordering you picked: was there any
(performance? usability?) reason for it? I guess if I had to come up
with an ordering for diff myself, I'd just have picked 'sort by name',
not 'files first, directories second, sorted by name'.

For repos->wc diffs with local modifications, we'll actually report the
repos->wc diffs followed by the wc->wc diffs, with each group sorted,
won't we? (instead of sorting the whole output, which would be hard).

I've not really reviewed the patch itself, since I'm not familiar enough
with libsvn_repos, but it looks generally good to me.

I think you can probably delete the 'val' variable entirely: it's not
used anywhere else in this function.

That should probably be svn_repos__sort_by_type_and_path(). (And isn't it
'type and name'?)

Again, 'val' isn't used after your patch, so you could remove it.

And 'key' is also unused (except for comparing against
SVN_WC_ENTRY_THIS_DIR, below, where we could easily use 'name'), so I'd
get rid of that as well.
