Is this standart of log messages? "svn commit --message" and "svn log"
don't support this. And svn or server don't guarantee this invariant.

How hard apply a patch? About two minutes? One?

I can't undestand official position of subversion developers. Obviously
this is bug because svn don't work as expected. When I write 1 line
message to log, I expect 1 line message in log. Clear and simple.

They are several patches to fix. Ones fix "svn commit", others "svn
log". Based on two opinion must or not log messages always ended with EOL.

But all patches rejected and I advised to write hook script to fix this.
I can't undestand. Can anyone explain me?
