I was actually using svn diff (which is their own implementation).
Fortunately they have this snazzy --diff-cmd argument that makes it
possible to do anything you want in the diff command.

I do not as of yet have all of the comments integrated that everyone has
made. But I wanted to respond to this particular comment since I had
something to help others in preparing patches.

So anyhow, I made a wrapper script (attached) which should produce
prpoer diffs for busybox in a form that Bernhard and others can find a
litle easier to follow.

You can use it with subversion by just typing:
svn diff --diff-cmd=/path/to/diffwrapper <typical svn diff args>

Thanks
