Helllo Stefan.
Thanks for trying to solve this problem.
Unfortunately you patch doesn't solve the problem because of 2 reasons.
1. It doesn't change "target" (in diff request), and it still may contain '/'.
2. If in my example (just replace http://localhost/svn == file:///tmp/test) diff fails if I compare r2
and r4.
$ svn diff file:///tmp/test/directory/subdirectory_at_2 file:///tmp/test/directory/subdirectory_at_4
svn: E125007: Path 'subdirectory/file1' must be an immediate child of the directory
'directory/subdirectory'
Though I can confirm that for r1-r4 comparison the output is ok with your patch.
Actually I didn't expect involving "relative_to_dir" feature because currently svn client doesn't
set this parameter anywhere. And I don't think it's a good idea to to use it now. As I wrote I think
a better approach is to eliminate that do{}while(); cycle and to do something like (though it may
require some significant efforts)
if (any or urls to compare doesn't exist in peg revision) {
generate full addition/deletion diff using a special report
//or alternative throw an exception like svn 1.6 does
} else {
perform diff that is currently performed
}
