I see.
Eventually I expect we will want "diff" to provide that info, so that someone
can implement an svn-aware diff and patch pair; however, that's not likely to
happen soon. Therefore we'd better remove that apparent capability from the
diff-summarize API before it gets released in v1.4. Sorry Martin; please could
you send a patch for that.
I couldn't find it documented that those parameters to the editor callbacks are
not filled in by a diff. Would svn_ra_do_diff2() be the place? Presently it says:
svn_ra_do_diff2():

Should we add here, "Copy-from information is not supplied to the editor
callbacks." ?
