svn diff does not have the problem, svn cat does. In order to use the
Eclipse graphical compare we have to give it the two complete revisions to
compare. To do this, we use svn cat.
Go to your command line and try running this:
svn cat -r 2 file:///tmp/test-general/repos/test-mod/tags/Tag_4/file-4.txt
TortoiseSVN has the same problem under similar circumstances.
