You're right.  I tested that command but somehow glazed over the fact
that it did not do what I said it did.  Sorry.  Anyway, parsing the
'svn log -v -l1 {filename}' output, then running 'svn diff -rM:N', is
still correct.

How do git et al. deal with the ambiguity you are presenting, anyway?
I mean, you have this file, it is present in this revision, it came
from _somewhere_ but not from the parent revision.  How do you tell it
that you don't want the usual thing, a diff against the parent revision
('git show'), but instead, a diff against wherever the file came from?
