I don't think it is a bug to leave the XML incomplete if we exit with an
error. In general, you may not have enough information to complete the
output. A program using the cmdline client should check the return value,
and if it is non-zero it should assume that the operation didn't complete.
In what cases svn should continue on errors is another discussion. There
have been talk about inconsistentcies here, but it is not related to the
XML output patch per see.

I don't agree. All the old blame_receiver_xml was doing was converting
some arguments to strings and then it called print_blame_xml. There's no
point in creating an extra function for that.

I've no strong opinion here. cat doesn't do it.

If you try
svn blame -r14000:HEAD
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/clients/cmdline/blame-cmd.c
you'll see what I mean. It will give you no info for lines last changed
before r14000.
So, you can create a file with a line and commit r1, add a line
and commit r2. Then blame -r2:2. You'll get no commit info for the line
added in r1.
BTW, even your basic test case caught a portability bug (see r14705).
Good! :-)
