svn diff does not include diffs for files in deleted directories. It does
include added files. To reproduce, just do

svn diff -rN-1:N URL

on any revision where a directory (with files in it) was removed.

This is inconsistent, and does not produce good patches. Workarounds include
doing the reverse diff and then reversing the patch, but that doesn't work if
the change involved both added and removed directories - a good deal of
hand-editing is needed.
The inability to diff the addition or deletion of a specific directory does not
help here.

I found a discussion about this
(http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2004-03/0110.shtml) but I could find no prior
filed issue about the problem.

A related, smaller inconsistency: Deleted empty files are not reported either
(while added empty files are).
