Well, every abort() that can happen due to some unexpected input (e.g.,
corrupted entries file, malformed network packet, ...) will crash the
application or plugin. I say this again: TSVN is a shell plugin: if it
crashes, the whole *desktop* goes with it!
I can't have that.

I'd say it's definitely a bug: if a function does not what the docs for
it tell it to do, then it's a bug (either in the function or in the docs
- but definitely a bug).
I think someone familiar with the diff code could solve that problem in
a relative short time: there's a boolean value passed down which
indicates whether the diff has to be reversed. But I couldn't find the
place where that flag got lost in the wc diff code - someone else might
be able to spot that right away...

Sorry, I haven't used Java in over five years, and my experience with it
back then wasn't really the best.
