It is how Subversion (svn diff) works. It gives you a diff against
the copied base file. So, for example, if you modified a couple of
lines it would show those lines in the diff output.

There are going to be some new options coming in Subversion 1.7. One
option is to tell diff to just treat the copy like an add and show all
the lines as added. The other is a new patch file format that has a
way to include the copy-from information. This would not work with
the Eclipse Apply Patch wizard though. It will work with a new svn
patch command being added to the Subversion command line.
