You don't need to rev static functions.
Only public API (i.e. anything in subversion/include/*h but not
subversion/include/private/ or anywhere else) needs to stay
backwards compatible.

So just change the static function to your liking.

I.e. this isn't needed.

This _is_ needed, however :)

You can recognize public API also by its svn_ prefix (with a single
underscore).

svn_diff_mem_string_output_unified2() can be used on any content,
so I think the name 'property_diff' is too specific.

Can we call it 'with_diff_header' or something like that?

Can we pass the hunk header delimiters in as a parameter, too?
Just like you did in output_unified_flush_hunk2()?
Let the caller decide what it should be.

If you agree with changing the name of the parameter (and hence its
meaning) this FALSE might need to be toggled.

Instead of adding an entirely new declaration of the rev'd
function, just edit the existing docstring and declaration
and provide a new declaration of the old version, which should
only describe in its docstring how it differs from its successor.

Hey here you're already using a better name :)

I.e. here, you'd say "Like svn_diff_mem_string_diff2(), except ..."

In this docstring, mention TOKEN and POOL and explain what they are
and what they are used for. POOL almost always gets the same
explanation, look around for examples.

Please use svn_subst_detect_eol() if possible.
See include/svn_subst.h.

Glad to see the above block of code go, it's just silly.

What do you mean here? Do you mean "the property value won't ever
contain any newlines"? Or do you mean "the last character of the property
value won't be a newline"?

Here is the place where the caller could specify what the hunk headers
will look like.

Glad to see your patch, looks great overall.
