I would strongly suspect that this is a user problem, perhaps the text editor
behavior mentioned by Lorenz Minder. Do your developers run 'svn diff' before
committing to make sure they are committing exactly the changes they think
they are? This is a good policy in general, and would help to make it clear
whether the problem is really a user problem or a Subversion problem.
