[TSVN] "diff" command in context menu when selecting an added file

Hi,

IMHO TortoiseSVN should be able to do a "diff" on added files. Let me
try to explain why.

svn allows you to do the following

- svn add foo.txt
- svn diff foo.txt

(will show the entire file in the diff)

- svn commit
- svn cp foo.txt bar.txt

(now edit bar.txt)

- svn diff bar.txt

(svn diff will show your modifications)

This isn't possible in TortoiseSVN yet, because the "diff" command is
supressed for every "added" file.

The patch at the bottom of this message enables the diff command for
added files.
I've built and tested this patch and it works as expected.
... it took me a couple of hours to do a full build, but the
instructions in build.txt were very helpful :-)

I hope you will find this patch usefull.

Greetings, George
