Julian Foad reopened SVN-2527:
------------------------------
Looks like this was never resolved for plain 'svn diff', so re-opening.
The change to 'svn diff --git' output was wrong -- see SVN-4689.
> svn diff does not use /dev/null as filename for added or removed files

> svn diff is not usable to generate patches between revisions that either add
> or remove files.
> Added files must have /dev/null as filename in the ^+++ line.
> Removed files must have /dev/null as filename in the ^--- line.
> patch(1) will recognize this and either refuse to append to an existing file,
> or it will unlink and deleted file.
> Currently the ^--- and ^+++ lines will just contain the filename for both.
> Looking through the 1.3 sources, there is appearently no support for handling
> add/deletes.
