Description

$ svnadmin create ~/repo
$ svn mkdir http://localhost:8888/repo/zig
$ svn mkdir http://localhost:8888/repo/zig/zag
$ svn co http://localhost:8888/repo -d ~/wc
$ echo foo > ~/wc/zig/zag/foo
$ svn add ~/wc/zig/zag/foo
$ svn ci -m "foo" ~/wc
$ echo foo >> ~/wc/zig/zag/foo
$ svn ci -m "foo" ~/wc
$ svn up ~/wc
Updated to revision 4.

Now these fail

$ svn diff -r3:4 ~/wc/zig/zag/foo 

svn_error: #21095 : <RA layer request failed>
  REPORT request failed on /repo/zig/zag

$ svn diff -r3:4 ~/wc/zig/zag/

svn_error: #21066 : <Filesystem has no item>
  
file not found: revision `4', path `/zig/zag/zag/foo'

$ svn diff -r3:4 ~/wc/zig/

svn_error: #21066 : <Filesystem has no item>
  
file not found: revision `4', path `/zig/zig/zag/foo'

but this works

$ svn diff -r3:4 ~/wc/
Index: zig/zag/foo

If I check-out http://localhost:8888/repo/zig diff still only works
when path is ~/wc. It appears that 'svn diff -rX:Y PATH' over ra_dav
only works if PATH is the base of the working copy. Guess what the
regression tests do when testing diff!
