This is the problem. IMHO, with --notice-ancestry, "svn diff" should
consider ancestry for newFile.txt, i.e. it should notice that it has
been copied from oldFile.txt, and as there hasn't been any change, it
should output nothing (this is the current behavior, which is correct
in this case). But now, if --notice-ancestry is not given, "svn diff"
should compare newFile.txt with the old newFile.txt version, and as
newFile.txt (under that name) is new, it should output the diff like
"svn add"; but it doesn't, and I think this is a bug.
