Description

Reproduction:
$ svn co -N http://serf.googlecode.com/svn/trunk serf
$ cd serf
$ svn up --parents tags/1.3.1
$ svn up tags/1.3.2

At this point
$ svn diff --old=tags/1.3.1 --new=tags/1.3.2
and
$ svn diff --old=^/tags/1.3.1 --new=^/tags/1.3.2

Should give roughly the same results (different order; different headers), but 
the local variant misses about 75% of the actual changes.
