The do_diff() routine causes two trees to be compared on the server:
the temporary tree that you build (via the reporter), and some
revision tree. Thus, if a file has changed, the response will
*always* mention the file. That's not something you can control!

The only thing the textdeltas argument does is either put the deltas
in the original response (just like the update response does), or not.
 In other words, if a file has changed, your open_file() editor
function will be called no matter what; the only thing you can
control is whether your apply_textdelta() function gets called or not.

So yes, you'll have to do what 'svn diff URL1 URL2' does: call
do_diff(textdeltas=false), and manually call svn_ra_get_file() each
time open_file() or add_file() is called.
