How to svn diff two files in different branch and from two specific revison?

I can use this get the diff between a specific revision number and latest version for a certain file

svn diff -r<revision number> --diff-cmd='meld' <svn_url>

But if I have two files, in two different branch, then I want to diff them from two specific revisions. How do I do that without checking out files? Thanks!

    svn diff --diff-cmd meld OLD-URL[@OLDREV] NEW-URL[@NEWREV]
