I know there's been some discussion of this the last few months, but my
experience is that with SVN 1.8 diff functionality changed. I use the
options "--diff-cmd diff -x -q" instead of --summarize (the scripts were
written before --summarize was added to "svn diff"). Under SVN 1.7 I
would only see files with different contents (or properties). With 1.8
files with the same contents which are not identical in the repository
show up as different. This is particularly true of binary files.
