That's not the correct command for this. The command you're using is the
'diff' command which diffs the file with its working BASE.

If you want to find out the exact command the easy way, create the
registry DWORD value HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\Debug and set it to 1.
Then a dialog will show you the exact command line TortoiseProc is
started with: just click on the context menu "Diff with previous
version" and check the command line in the dialog.

After that, set the registry value to 0 so you don't get annoyed by that
dialog for every command.
