Add options which allows us to use difft as Apache Subversion's external diff tool #562

Neat, it'd be nice to have svn support. I'm OK with adding label options, but I don't like having multiple ways of setting the display mode. Could we support this syntax similar to git support? If it's always the same arguments in the same order, we could allow those arguments without allowing |

Thank you for being interested in this PR.
How about hiding |

@futatuki can you rebase your diff, please? |

Yes, I'm willing to do later, with pleasure. |
Thanks! I am using your patch, it is really helpful. I hope @Wilfred sees this in time and can maybe integrate it :) |
With this, we can use difft as a external diff for Apache Subversion,
in the form:
svn diff --diff-cmd=difft -x '<at least one difft option>'
If "svn diff --diff-cmd" is called without -x option, svn executes external diff command with -u option. So this allows to use difft as external diff for Apache Subversion, without extra options.

Rebase done. |
svn, Apache Subversion's command line client also has option to use external diff tool for
svn diffsubcommand. However it assumes that diff tool has diff compatible -L (label) and -u option.This implements -L and -u options.
