In AnkhSVN I usually skip the diff apis and just obtain the whole files ('svn
cat FILE' 'svn cat FILE@BASE') and properties ('svn proplist FILE' 'svn
proplist FILE@BASE) and do the calculations myself.
That way I also have access to what is not changed.
Specifically for svn:mergeinfo you might be better of using the dedicated apis
(which in many cases contact the server), but for all other properties I would
guess just obtaining the values and explicitly apply further processing
yourself is most likely far more future proof.
