I recommend you first copy your working copy BASE revisions to a
branch, switch to the branch, and commit them. That way you get
something that's much easier to diff (the other way, it's still
possible to get a diff of your changes, but it takes more work,
because you don't have a clean changeset to work with).

So:

   $ svn cp -rBASE -m "Create experiment branch." . http://.../branches/blah/
   $ svn switch http://.../branches/blah/
   $ svn st -q
    [... make sure your local changes are still there ...]
   $ svn ci -m "My experimental changes."

I haven't tested that, but it should work.
