In svn.py, _handle_empty_files() directly calls execute(diff_cmd,...) to invoke the 'svn diff' command.  However this does not operate as expected because the diff_cmd list does not contain 'svn' as the first entry.  This leads to an error message when running 'rbt diff':
$ rbt diff -d

<snip>
Fix is to switch from calling execute() to calling self._run_svn() following the recipe in a2890ae.  It appears that this single instance of execute() was overlooked between a2890ae and bfec7b3.  _run_svn() will prepend 'svn' to command line resulting in the intended 'svn diff' actually being executed.

Executed 'rbt diff -d' after change and error message ralted to calling diff with an unknown option goes away.
