Did you run revert recursively with "-R", or did you run it on the item specifically? Without that, do not expect the file to be reverted.

Note that your third-party diff tool may be configured to ignore certain changes like line ending formats etc

Check your diff tool invocation settings, and check the authoritative "svn diff" on the specific item.
