diff between tag (branch) and the working copy?

Hi,

Can I `diff' a file between its tagged version and its working copy with 
svn diff? Basically this is compare the working copy with another URL 
which might be totally irrelevant.

I tried the below two with svn 0.37 & 1.0beta1 but no luck...

svn diff --old http://path/to/tag --new . filename
    svn compares the file with its BASE, not the tagged one

svn diff --old http://path/to/tag filename
    nothing happens... I guess it compares the tagged one with itself

Sorry, I meant to respond to this but got sidetracked...

This looks like issue number 1602, which is currently targeted to be 
addressed for 1.1.
