Feature request: default diff for svn diff

From: Ross Boylan <ross_at_biostat.ucsf.edu>

I discovered that specifying the -x (for extended args to diff) alone is
not adequate; one must specify --diff-cmd as well. Couldn't it default
to diff? Or have I missed something?

Further, svn help diff says
  -x [--extensions] arg : pass ARG as bundled options to GNU diff
which implies you get GNU diff automatically. I believe that should
read "pass ARG as option to the command specified in --diff-cmd", at
least at the moment.

Using subversion 1.0.6-2 on Debian GNU/Linux.
