Answering myself here, just in case someone has the same problem:

First, you need the latest SVN version, 1.4 won't do
Then you MUST repeat "-x" each time you use an option for it. So if you
want unified format and no EOL differences, here is what you do:

svn diff -x -u -x --ignore-eol-style URL1 URL2

Maybe there is a special syntax to allow multiple options, but I do not
know about it.
