Re: patch newline in log messages

I think it would be good to have an issue about this, even if it is soon closed
as "Won't fix", because people ask about it repeatedly.

Issue #1870 "Don't add extra blank line to log messages" is the right one. It
contains a patch to not add an extra line to an EMPTY log message, but it
should discuss the whole issue of trailing newlines.

Please add a comment to that issue saying what behaviour you would like, and why.

We will not change the behaviour before Subversion v2.0. There is little point
in attaching your patch, because there are many ways to address the problem
(e.g. we might want to remove all of the newlines at the end of a message), and
we are unlikely to use exactly that solution, and the code will have changed by
the time we do so, and it is easy to implement any solution. (For these
reasons, there's no point in having my patch stored in that issue either, but
that's how the issue came to be filed.)
