Thank you for the suggestions and the fast reply.
I have checked all files and they have CR+LF as lineendings. Your idea
to change
the lineendings from CRLF to LF and back again didn't work either.
There was allways the diff error with TSVN but not with SVN.
Additionaly I tried the following:
- Switch back to TSVN 1.3.1 and SVN 1.3
   Result: Everything works fine
- Dumped the repository and install the newest TSVN and SVN versions and
loaded the dumpfile into a new repository
  Result: The new project works fine but the older one still has the
diff problem. Even in the log history I cannot compare files.
So in the end I will use TSVN 1.3.1 until I find a way to switch to the
latest version.
