Oops - too many words.

I don't see the point of making this a formal convention. It often happens naturally, but if an error message is very short, why not put it on the end of the first line; and what if the error message is not a simple constant string but, say, a function call like apr_psprintf(pool, "Format", args) or an expression like (query ? "Query" : "Other") ?

Sorry I didn't notice this before, but the function is actually called "svn_error_create". (And the indentation is a bit off, but this is only a "README".)
