Assuming you want to diff between the two tags VERSION1_0_10 and
VERSION1_0_11, then you need to provide only those two arguments, not the
trunk, to the svn diff command.

# svn diff file:///srv/svn/repositories/test/tags/VERSION1_0_10
file:///srv/svn/repositories/test/tags/VERSION1_0_11

It will show the diff from version 1_0_10 to version 1_0_11.

[I do not think you can do a three-way diff using svn commands.]
