  It doesn't appear that the -w options is passed to diff as the
  documentation suggests.
+ 
+ ------- Additional Comments From kfogel@tigris.org  2003-03-28 11:55 PST -------
+ This is because we have switched to an internal diff library; at the
+ moment, that diff library does not support -w, though someday it may.
+  So you want to do something like
+ 
+    $ svn diff --diff-cmd=/usr/bin/diff -x -w
+ 
+ And when no external --diff-cmd is given, then Subversion should error
+ on -x (work is under way to do this), until the day when the internal
+ diff lib can support some of the -x suboptions.
+ 
+ I'm closing this issue, since it's not quite the same as the change
+ described above.  I don't think there's any need to open a new issue,
+ as Garrett Rooney has already nearly finished his patch to check
+ whether -x is applicable.
