Just to be clear, you mean that

   svn diff -r118:119 https://host/xxxx/subdir

returns a diff with 1.6.12 and 1.7.9 but with 1.8.5 it fails with
E175013?

A network trace would help, but I've never had much success getting
wireshark to decode an https conection even when I have access to the
server. It might be easier to use a debug version of the client to
determine which request is failing.

You may be able to determine which version of Subversion is in use on
the server by examining the HTTP headers with something like "curl -D-".

What sort of change is r119? Text/properties/adds/deletes/copies?
