My second attempt. I allow empty lines to be included in the hunk. And
when reading the hunk in subversion/libsvn_client/patch.c (match_hunk) I
insert a space if missing.

It would be better to shield libsvn_client from the empty lines handling
and insert an extra space when needed in the streams in
subversion/libsvn_diff/parse-diff.c (svn_diff__parse_next_hunk. Should I
do that instead? I do miss Java IO (thought I would never say that).

Involves changing svn_hunk_t to use some other classification than
original_text and modified_text? Beeing lazy I would prefer not having
to do that. :-)

Now I am able to patch the simple example given in the issue description
but when trying to create a file using this patch I get a conflict
(There is one empty line at the end of the patch) :

Index: foo2
===================================================================
--- foo2 (revision 0)
+++ foo2 (revision 0)

+test

Is this an issue with the fuzz? If svn patch would allow at least one
line of fuzz then this patch would work?

Or do I need a way to find out when an empty line is there for
readability (as the blank line before Property changes on ...) or when
the leading space has been chopped?

Mvh
