'svn patch' already ignores the textdelta (unidiff). Maybe I wasn't
clear enough with "it seeks to the svnpatch header and starts reading
from here". Let me try to clarify. When you feed 'svn patch' with a
unidiff+svnpatch output, it ignores the unidiff and reads the
svnpatch.
So, suppose my output (svn diff --svnpatch) is like the following:
[[[
Property changes on: .
___________________________________________________________________
Name: myprop

Finally, be sure to see Appendix A in the Subversion Book. It
contains a very quick overview of the major differences between
CVS and Subversion.

then 'svn patch' starts reading right after the svnpatch header, i.e.
at 'eJzTUMgv..' bytes.
Cheers,
Charles
