Description

I tried 
  svn diff --diff-cmd xxdiff <filename>
Result:
  xxdiff: invalid option -- u

svn should not pass arguments to the external diff program unless it is told to.
 It most especially should not pass arguments if there isn't a way to tell it
not to do that.

I tried 
  svn diff -x "" --diff-cmd xxdiff <filename>
but that didn't help.
