Hi sorry for the SPAM , my fault , elmz is too ... , last try ( I promise :)) 

Hi, 
Don't know if it help, I use svn and I use filterdiff.
filterdiff cleans all things that don't belongs to patch and that
includes Index ...
If you just want a clean splitdiff, you may use : 

svn diff | filterdiff  > txt; splitdiff -a txt
