Why bother? If you can run svnlook diff you can also run svn diff
with a file:// url to get the same effect. If you want the options
that only exist in svn, use svn to get them. I mean I'm not arguing
that consistency is bad, just that I don't see it as a real priority
in this case since it's perfectly possible to get the same behavior
right now with no extra work ;-)
