Wait, I think I've got it!
The problem is that the "svn:special" property is set to "link" on both
the old and new file, so it never appears as a prop diff -- nor should
it, since there's no difference.
But (I think) the code that handles the "svn:special" property only gets
activated when the property is added or removed. (I guess it would also
get activated if the property value changed, but in practice, it's
always "link" right now, since the details appear in the file text.
Thus our concern here is with the property being added or removed.)
I haven't investigated this line of reasoning yet, but will later
tonight if no one beats me to it.
