The tabular format is good but it would be easier to follow if instead
of "A" or "B" or "C" etc. you write "Shown as diff against source" or
"Shown as all lines added".
Why are some of your tests testing deletes, not adds?
$ svn diff -r2:1
Index: copiedfile1

I seem to recall that the result sometimes depends on whether the target
of the diff command is the actual file or a directory that contains the
file. In other words, "svn diff ./" may behave differently from "svn
diff copiedfile1". Can you test that too please?
