The data sent between client and server and the output shown by "svn
diff" are in different formats. You do *not* want to fiddle with SVN's
network protocol, a client-side diff plugin is all you need.
If your goal is to save space in the repository, rather than see
meningful diffs with the client, then you do need some kind of
repackaging logic. Such things have been discussed for years (see the
mailing list archives), but nobody has come up with a useful design, let
alone implemented it.,

You should ask on the TSVN mailing list.
