One note: I'm using "diff" to calculate the changes, and sometimes it reports changes that "svn diff" does not (things like changed "$Id: " lines, for instance). So sometimes when you click on the link, you'll get "no changes".
Is it GNU diff? If so, you might want to try diff -b -I '\$Id[^$]*\$' -I '\$Date[^$]*\$' -I '\$Revision[^$]*\$' (assuming unix shell; some other form of quoting otherwise...) This isn't perfect - it won't detect other changes on a line with a $Id$, but that would be fairly unusual. You might need to extend this with other SVN keywords. Also, if there are other changes in the same diff-block as the SVN keyword changes, then the ignore pattern doesn't actually appear to trim things out. (I've tested this with mpl/accumulate.hpp, and it silences the diffs.) The "-b" is just to ignore changes of whitespace (in my case, differences in line endings).
