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

I have been unable to get this command or a number of variants to work:

diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x '--exclude=ignore_this_file' some_dir
almost_identical_copy_of_some_dir

If I modify file 'ignore_this_file' in checkout directory
'almost_identical_copy_of_some_dir'
I can't get any variation of '--exclude/-x' to ignore changes to
'ignore_this_file'. It will
always show the difference between that file and it's original copy in
'some_dir'.

Any suggestions.

Thanks for any help.
