For the record, I'm -0 on it. It feels like unnecessary syntactic
fluff. The -c option itself makes sense because it's common to want to
see the change made in a given revision, but I don't think it's common
to want to see the inverse of that change, and you can get the inverse
with svn diff -r N:N-1.

Rephrased: it's good to have shorthand for talking about revisions as
changes, but I don't see the point in having shorthand for talking about
revisions as inverse-changes.

(Yeah, I know, "svn merge -c N --reverse" to roll back a change. I
don't think rollbacks are all that common.)
