That diffing scenario is handled by use case 2 as shown in
'svn help diff':
...
2. diff [-r N[:M]] --old=OLD-TGT[@OLDREV] [--new=NEW-TGT[@NEWREV]] \
[PATH...]
...
2. Display the differences between OLD-TGT as it was seen in OLDREV and
NEW-TGT as it was seen in NEWREV. PATHs, if given, are relative to
OLD-TGT and NEW-TGT and restrict the output to differences for those
paths. OLD-TGT and NEW-TGT may be working copy paths or URL[@REV].
NEW-TGT defaults to OLD-TGT if not specified. -r N makes OLDREV default
to N, -r N:M makes OLDREV default to N and NEWREV default to M.
