Just tried and the command-line client also displays the same
behavior. Time to search the svn-bug-base.

Don't mind the default to be the complete merge diff. But it would be
nice if there was an option to see the original diff, instead of the
complete merge diff. Instead of having to use the repo-browser to find
the same modification in the feature branch and then perform the diff
there of that revision. It would be enough to open the "Show Log"-
window with that specific revision, so one manually had to select the
file to see the modifications.
