Thanks :-). I've looked into it, but it seems the output functions in
svn_diff.h are oriented to diff2/diff3 only (they don't have an
'ancestor' enum or parameters); and in a quick test, I couldn't get
tools/diff/diff4 to output anything sensible:

% for i in 1 2 3 4; do echo $i>$i; done
% ./tools/diff/diff4 1 2 3 4
3
%

How can we test diff4 then? Do we have to add public diff4 APIs in
order to be able to test svn_diff_diff4_2()?

Daniel
(on the one hand I'd much prefer to test the API changes before
releasing them; on the other hand, adding API's related to an API
that no one (to our knowledge) uses seems odd)
