Can one force svn diff to show svn cp'd files?

Question

Here is a command sequence showing distinct svn diff behaviours for adding versus copying files:

$ ls -A
foo  .svn
$ svn cp foo foo.svn-cp
A         foo.svn-cp
$ svn diff foo.svn-cp
<nothing>
$ cp foo foo.cp-add
$ svn add foo.cp-add
A         foo.cp-add
$ svn diff foo.cp-add
<contents>

Some notes to head off irrelevant answers:

• I understand the difference between these two svn actions
• I know that if I were to edit the copied foo.svn-cp pre-commit, the diff of that edit would show (vs the original foo)
• I agree with the distinct svn diff behaviours

I am only wondering if I can override some default to force svn diff to output foo.svn-cp in the same manner it outputs foo.cp-add.

No.

Unless you want to hack around with the source code; if you do, you’re a better man than I.
