yes, it works, but I can't add it to %home%/Application Data/Subversion/
config (I tried " x = -xyz", it had no effect), so I have to offer this
option every time.
Anyway, I can use --diff-cmd=diff_wrapper to work around it.

--diff-cmd="diff -ubB" won't break --diff-cmd="diff", isn't it more
elegant than the redundant -x option?
BTW, I really respect the developers of Subversion, maybe I haven't
realize the difficulty about this problem.
