That's not the same. When you doubleclick, TSVN fetches (tries to) the
file twice: once with rev-1 and once with rev. Then the UI diff program
is started to show the diff between those two files.
And to fetch those files, TSVN has to use svn_client_cat() which doesn't
follow copies (yet).

But if you want just a unified diff, use the appropriate context menu entry.
