What about using our relative repo syntax for displaying the output? You'd get
something like:
[[[
$ svn diff --summarize \
    --old=$VERYLONGURL/foo/@2 \
    --new=$VERYLONGURL/quux_at_3

MM ^/foo/modified_file
 M ^/foo/modified_dir
M
]]]

(I've got no particular opinion on any of the suggestions, just pointing out
additional possibilities.)
