Thank you very much, docdiff seems to solve my problem. The default behaviour 
of docdiff is not that useful for me, but the following combination of 
command line switches seems to do almost exactly what I want:

  docdiff --tty --digest --encoding=ASCII old.tex new.tex

(I do not know why I have to specify --encoding=ASCII. The files are not even 
ASCII files; I use ISO-8859-1. However, without this switch I get just an 
error message.)

With some scripting, I was able to use docdiff together with svn, too. In that 
use, --eol=LF was required to make it work properly with newly created files.
