Property diff producing wrong results...

I was taking a look at issue 1493 and trying to determine a way to
maintain similarly formatted output, but using libsvn_diff to help
generate the diff. Naturally, I headed to the keyboard, edited a
property, and diff'd the file. I was surprised by the result.

The attached script reproduces the problem. It basically sets
svn:ignore to 'a', commits, and then sets svn:ignore to 'a\nb'. The
resultant output was:
   Property changes on: .
   ___________________________________________________________________
   Name: svn:ignore
      - a

      + a
   b

Notice that there seem to be a few things wrong. The +- a is indented
from the rest of the diff, or rather b is not indented. But the real
problem is that there should be just a '+ b' at the end.

I tried this on both Linux and Mac OS X, and got the same results.

I'll take a closer look, but wanted to throw this out there in case
someone might know when this broke.

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf repo wc prop.tmp

svnadmin create repo
svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
cd wc
svn ps svn:ignore a .
svn ci -m '' .
svn up

echo a > prop.tmp
echo b >> prop.tmp

svn ps svn:ignore -F prop.tmp .

svn diff .
