Description

While playing with some simple 'svn diff -cREV' invocations tonight, I found
myself confused to find that the reported diffs were always between r0 and REV.
 Thinking I was nuts and that surely the test suite would have caught such a
thing, I ran "diff_tests.py 9 -v", where I found amongst the output the following:

{{{

Not only did 'svn diff -c 3' show a diff between r0 and r3, but the explicit
'svn diff -r2:3' did the same!
