+</h4>
+<p>When <code>svn diff</code> shows a copied file, it usually shows how the
+copied file differs from the file it was copied from.
+Sometimes this isn't the desired form of output. There are situations where
+a copied file needs to appear in its entirety, for instance when producing
+a patch file to be applied elsewhere with a patch tool (such as
+<a href="#patch"><code>svn patch</code></a>).</p>
+
+<p>In Subversion 1.7, <code>svn diff</code> takes a new
+<strong><tt>--show-copies-as-adds</tt></strong> option which causes copied
+files to be shown in their entirety, just like newly added files are shown.</p>
