The problem is that the path was changed in the history.

And there is no much way to do it with the svn client either.

You must use
svn log --stop-on-copy yourfile
to see where the file comes from and then use
svn diff --old=oldurl@oldrev --new=neurl@newrew
where oldurl and newurl are the different URLs, oldrev and newrev the revision 
numbers.

(Subversion's developers consider it to be a "feature", as there is no 
revision 25279 in trunk/l10n/br )

Have a nice day!
