Julian Foad commented on SVN-1056:
----------------------------------
'svn diff --git' does indeed now produce a 'rename' for the added side, but it
still produces a 'delete' as well, either before or after. If it would omit
that, then 'svn patch' would work.
> 'svn diff' should express tree changes

> I'd like to have an option (maybe --copy / -c) to svn diff that will
> track copies/moves.
> E.g.,
> svn cp foo.txt bar.txt
> (edit bar.txt)
> svn diff -c
> would show me the differences between repository foo.txt and working
> copy bar.txt. The output could be something like:
> Index: bar.txt (copied from foo.txt)
> ===================================================================
> --- foo.txt (revision 23)
> +++ bar.txt (working copy)
> @@ -100,1 +100,1 @@
> - old stuff
> + new stuff
> At the moment, svn diff would just show me bar.txt being added. The
> current behaviour makes the diff output less useful when read (a) it
> clutters up the output with the entire contents of bar.txt, (b) it
> makes it hard to see what changes have been made to the contents of
> the file, (c) it loses information.
> If the -c option is added, maybe it should just give a one line report
> for deleted files, instead of listing the contents of the file.
> [The change I'm suggesting needs to be added as an option - plain svn
> diff should continue to generate output consistent with the
> traditional unix patch/diff commands.]
