{{{svn di http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.0.5/
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1.1/ > upgrade.diff}}}
But I think this misses SVN externals (namely, Akismet). So to properly
diff everything you'd do:
{{{mkdir wp205
mkdir wp211
svn export --force http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.0.5/ wp205
svn export --force http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.1.1/ wp211
diff -ur wp205 wp211 > upgrade.diff
rm -rf wp205 wp211}}}
Although it's easy enough to just upgrade Akismet independently.
Also note that you can use {{{svn export}}} to upgrade an existing
install, even if the existing install was originally uploaded via FTP:
It'll only touch core WP files (although it '''never hurts to do a
backup''')
