I didn't want to suggest that myself, but it makes sense. Ideally I think the way to go would be to integrate it with the existing Subversion bundle and check an environment variable (created by the user) to determine whether to use diff or FileMerge.
Actually, I was thinking of them as more options in the list. I have good use for both and I'd want to choose each time.
There are likely to be additional diff utilities in the future, so that might not scale. I think the environment variable is a better overall solution. (I'd also prefer not to clutter the list with duplicate diff entries if we can avoid it. It's already pretty big, even though it's still missing a number of commands.)
However, at least for now, the diff commands could perhaps check to see whether a particular modifier key is held down and do the opposite of the environment variable setting.
