1.5.0 regression with svnlook - no good way of detecting changes in copied binary files.

In 1.4.6, "svnlook diff" would report "Binary files differ" for binary
files but in 1.5.0 "svnlook diff" is simply empty for binary files. I
can use "svnlook changed" to see if there are any binary files that
"svnlook diff" is not telling me about, but it will list "A + " for
copied binary files - no matter whether they were changed, or not. There
is always an "svn cat" but it's painful to have to do it...

Is there some reason why "Binary files differ" message had to go away?
Would it be possible to bring it back (perhaps via a command-line flag,
if it's not a desired default behavior)?

Thanks!

Aleksey
