Svn help is there to answer all your doubts:
$ svn help diff | grep \\--old
       2. diff [-r N[:M]] --old=OLD-TGT[@OLDREV] [--new=NEW-TGT[@NEWREV]] \
  3. Shorthand for 'svn diff --old=OLD-URL[@OLDREV] --new=NEW-URL[@NEWREV]'
  --old arg : use ARG as the older target

So it seems that it sets the base revision for the diff.
