An interesting suggestion and the only one that I've seen that makes any
sense. Unfortunately, I gave it a try and TSVN choked on a directory
containing over 15,000 files - of which only a handful are actually in
the WC. Well, 'choked' may be the wrong word. "Took a very long time
to return control to the user" is probably more accurate. I've also
tried using 'svn diff' but that has problems with the binary files in my
WCs.
