Theoretically, you could retrieve the information, though it's difficult.
But you can also be interested in diffing two files or paths that share 
no common history,
because the copy was not done with a 'svn copy' but rather a simple 'cp' 
followed by
an 'svn add'.
Other examples: comparing two similar files from two different 
sub-projects which
share no history, comparing the structure of two unrelated sub-projects, 
etc.

But I'm also interested in preparing the diff the way you suggested.
I've created a ticket for a Revision Graph feature (#1445), and for each
node in the graph, there could be an 'old' and 'new' radiobutton, much
like you have with the revision log in TracDiff.
