If you want to see a difference between two branches, do "svn diff
--old=branch1URL --new=branch2URL".
Or if you want to have a diff of branch1 @ rev 12 and branch2 @ rev
15, then do "svn diff -r 12:15 --old=branch1URL --new=branch2URL"

If you just say "svn diff -r ver1:ver2", then it will do a diff on the
branch (or turnk) your working copy is made of.
