Sorry, completely misread the question. I thought he wanted the unified diff
but with only the changed lines without the context. My bad.

That said, while the -c options is not recognized by svn's internal diff
command, if you use --diff-cmd and pass -x -cb as the OP wants, it should
work. At least it works for me.
