svn diff against a missing file

Hi,

I've erased (by rm) a file from a local svn sandbox.
I'd like to make a diff which indicates that the file was erased.
I notice that svn diff seems to entirely ignore that file,
and I don't see an option to make svn diff pay attention.
How can I make a diff which indicates the file was erased?

FWIW I do not (and cannot) have write permission on the svn repo.

Thanks for any advice.

Robert Dodier
