FWIW, the first (and only) time I tried to do a svn diff on lots of
files (about 700), svn diff never returned: my machine started to swap
and be unresponsive like hell, and I had a very hard time hitting ^C
to stop it.

This was svn 1.2.3, dunno if svn 1.3.0 is better in this area, but it would
certainly be good to fix this behavior.

Currently, I have to do a 'for' loop in sh to work around this trivial
issue, which is certainly annoying, since I do use svn diff a lot.
