Unexpected behavior in (d)iff while interactively working through conflicts--I think diff3 would be nicer

Currently if I have a conflict and I update a file, the interactive
conflict resolution does the following when I ask it to display the
diff:

Conflict discovered in 'f3.txt'.
Select: (p)ostpone, (d)iff, (e)dit, (h)elp for more options : d
--- .svn/text-base/f3.txt.svn-base Thu Dec 13 15:40:26 2007
+++ .svn/tmp/tempfile.14.tmp Thu Dec 13 16:01:05 2007
@@ -1 +1,5 @@
-foo
+<<<<<<< .mine
+moona
+=======
+bar
+>>>>>>> .r2

What I got was diff2 output, while what I expected was diff3 output.
The diff2 output between the base and my conflicted file looks
singularly weird to me. I think showing diff3 output would be a
little friendlier.

Thoughts?
