(This reply is unrelated to the rest of the thread, I just want to
clarify for Olleg what I meant.)
Olleg, look at the output above:
You did "svn ci -m test" to create r6. As a result, Subversion prints
the log message for r6 as: the word "test", followed by a newline,
followed by the log message separator. That newline, the one I just
mentioned, is the one that Subversion unconditionally adds. Without
it, the output would look like this;
$ svn log -r HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r6 | olleg | 2005-07-18 22:59:37 +0400 (Mon, 18 Jul 2005) | 1 line
test------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you see what I mean now?
The behavior change I describe above is simply to detect if the
message already ends with a newline, and not add any newline if so.
Thus, Subversion would do this (which I don't think is a good idea, by
the way):
$ echo -n "test" > logmsg
$ svn ci -F logmsg
[...]
Committed revision 6.
$ echo "test" > logmsg
$ svn ci -F logmsg
[...]
Committed revision 7.
$ svn log -r 7:6

I am not proposing we do this. However, it has been discussed briefly
in the distant past, that's why I had it in mind when I was
determining what problem you had solved. Probably I shouldn't have
listed it, it only confused matters.
