The last time you updated the invoke-diff-cmd branch from trunk was in
rr1526487, you updated from trunk r1526439.

So if you compare your branch to trunk_at_1526439 you will get a diff file
with only your changes. No?
$ svn diff -x -pwb
^/subversion/trunk_at_1526439^/subversion/branches/invoke-diff-cmd-feature

Or if you want to limit to the subversion folder:
$ svn diff -x -pwb
^/subversion/trunk/subversion_at_1526439^/subversion/branches/invoke-diff-cmd-feature/subversion

Basically, comparing branches is a core feature of Subversion, so I'm
wondering what specifically do you want to achieve by comparing two local
working copies with diff that you can't do with 'svn diff'?

The original diff file in the other post is my actual code (44k, oh dear)
