Because user don't enter newline. User enter the same message with "svn
ci -m" and with "svn ci" and text editor. Subversion in case of text
editor add '\n' at the end of log message, in case of "svn ci -m" not.

"svn log" must show only log message writed by user, nor more nor less.

If you can't undestand yet, try read this mail thread from the beginning.
