I prefer diff -u because I'm human too. It's a pity even svn doesn't
default to it. I've put this wrapper ".svn_diff" into my $PATH:
#! /bin/sh
exec diff -up ${1+"$@"}
and edited the helpers section of ~/.subversion/config to read:
diff-cmd = .svn_diff
The alternate is using "svn diff -x -u". Regarding emacs, a few
files that have been edited by emacsians include the tags. I don't
know whether they match the preferred style exactly. The file
doc/devguide/STYLE mentions them as well and gives further information
about style rules. It's not critical to obey these for contributors
but it may delay patches a lot if they aren't.

To be honest I'd prefer if we replaced this code relying on undefined
(or was it implementation-defined) behaviour with setproctitle() and just
ignore it on platforms which don't have this function. It probably
works on real-life platforms but if you've found a bug in candy code,
the candy was already too expensive IMHO.
