I'd prefer keeping --no-diff-properties and add a --patch option later
which implies --no-diff-properties and maybe other options.

I'm not sure I like the name --patch.
Maybe call it --patch-compatible or something?

Can you send patches generated with 'svn diff -xp' please? Thanks.

Some review of your current patch inline below.

This above change would be part of a second patch to add the
--patch-compatible option.

We cannot add new arguments to already released, stable, APIs.
You'll need to create a new version of svn_client_diff6 called
svn_client_diff7 and re-implement svn_client_diff6 as a wrapper around
svn_client_diff7 which passes FALSE for ignore_prop_diff.

Rest looks good to me.

Can you provide a follow-up patch? Thanks.
