It seems that I was unclear.
I have no problems with svn stat and plain svn diff.
The problem comes when I run svn diff -r 6, where 6 is the revision
number of the imported sources that I want to compare with when I
generate patches. Now I either get a lot of junk or the problem that
--no-diff-deleted hides too much.
BTW, is there a way to also hide Property changes in diff output?
