"svndiff3" specifically might not be a good name because of the
potential for confusion with svndiff0 and svndiff1 (the libsvn_delta
binary delta formats). "svn-diff3" looks like a subcommand "diff3" of
"svn" (following a pattern used by git, hg, pkgng, etc). Perhaps
'svn_diff3'?

An implementation of this was committed in r1591750.
