That is how 'diff' has always worked, isn't it? I believe the reason
is that it is more useful to show the diff of the file contents, rather
than just depicting the whole new file. Of course this means if you
did not edit the file after the 'svn cp' or 'svn mv', there will be
nothing in the diff.

There is also a --no-diff-deleted to make the 'svn mv' case more symmetric.
