Nope, quite certainly not...

I don't know, but simply read the error message again:
svn: Sorry, svn_client_diff was called in a way that is not *yet* supported.
svn: do_diff: COMMITTED nomenclature not supported
(*emphasis* mine)
I understand that means, someone made an explicit check for COMMITTED
and made svn it print this message in that case. If the developer
thought it to be an unreasonable argument, he would probably have
chosen a different error, not one suggesting that it might/will be
supported later.
Well, let's see... the check was part of the following commit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 6657: cmpilato | 2003-08-07 02:28:22 +0200 (Thu, 07 Aug 2003) | 14 lines
Re-org the guts behind svn_client_diff() for easier readability and,
in theory, expanded support. This is somehow in conjunction with
issue #1142 - svn diff cannot compare a wc file vs a revision in
another branch. It passes 'make check' ... miraculously.
* subversion/libsvn_client/diff.c
(unsupported_diff_error): Was polite_error(). Also, remove 'pool'
argument.
(diff_wc_wc, diff_repos_wc, diff_repos_repos): New, though
esseeeeentially cored out of do_diff().
(do_diff): Core the ugliness out of this function, and make it
effectively just a setup routine that runs one of three other
functions based on the type of diff we need to perform.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
But there was already a comment beforehand, which said that
URL@committed would fail (nothing about WC, though).
It looks like support for COMMITTED is not hard to do, but I do not
really now much about that code. Not sure, why cmpilato decided to
prevent COMMITTED from used at all resp. why there seems to be no
issue to fix that behaviour at a later time. That would best be
answered by himself, I guess.
Bye,
Benjamin.
