"svn diff" coredumps in the certain conditions

Hi!

I get a core dump when running command

svn diff --diff-cmd "/usr/bin/diff --exclude CVS"

I know, it's misprint, and the right is

svn diff --diff-cmd "/usr/bin/diff" -x "--exclude CVS"

but the previous line produces svn.core

By the way,

svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "--exclude CVS -I 'Id' -u"

does display lines with $Id

while

svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "--exclude CVS -I Id -u"

doesn't

So, we see that quotations inside quotations are passed as is and probably
we have no way to pass arguments with blanks to the diff command

My SVN version is:
