Because in this case i have to figure out manually, which url a directory/file
had at the given operative revision. (In my sample case i have to use /trunk
instead of /branches/v1.0).

In 'svn cat' subversion figures this out for me automatically and I _can_ say:
'display the file which has the url x at HEAD as it was in revision rx.'
In 'svn diff' I _can't_ say the equivalent:
'compare the file which has the url x at HEAD as it was in revision rx,
 with the file which has the url y at HEAD as it was in revision ry.'

I think, if this feature is useful in svn cat, it's as well useful in svn diff
or svn merge.
