Description

Currently the only way to get a svn diff ignoring whitespace is to use an
external diff command with 'svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "-w -u"' or
similar. Besides the disadvantage that there isn't always a diff command
available, it's also a rather inconvenient way to do a common operation.

Could -w and --ignore-white-space arguments be added to svn diff for this
operation? The arguments are consistent with GNU diff.

Thanks,
Dave.
