There isn't a patch flying around that produces this output, right?
In this case, I suggest that we add a regression test that simply expects any
output and exit code zero — that's «run_and_verify_svn(svntest.verify.AnyOutput,
[], 'diff', wc_dir)» — and add a comment reminding us to write a more explicit
expectation once the issue is fixed.  This would make sure the patch start
passing as soon as we change the behaviour, even if the expected output
predicted is a little off.

There should be an "@XFail()" decorator here, so `make test` (and
`./diff_tests.py`) still exit 0 despite this test (X)FAILing.

Since this test doesn't commit, it can pass read_only=True, then build() would
be cheaper.

Please don't add new instances of backslash-space; it's an undefined/deprecated
syntax that generates warnings in newer Pythons.  See r1834787.
