Subversion log messages and also the content of all multi-line
versioned properties that are "reserved" by Subversion (the ones that
start with "svn:") cannot contain any line ending characters except
for LF.

This has always been true, but the Subversion server did not start
enforcing it until 1.6.x.

The problem is that the client API, for whatever reason, does not
normalize these line endings. So it is up the users of the API to do
this before calling the API to send the data to the server. As was
pointed out, in Subclipse we fixed this earlier in the year before 1.6
was GA. It sounds like Subversive needs a similar fix.
