I think that discussion is still going on, but all the contenders have
been implemented (as far as I know), so it's just a question about
choosing what we want the output to look like.

I think that's roughly what one of the proposed verbose-ish outputs
looks like, yeah.

Aside from that, I know of none. My in-progress changes to fix
libsvn_client/diff.c (to make diff_tests 47 pass, but the problem is
with Subversion, not with the test) are not 1.5 blockers, IMHO. I
should have them done today, and will propose them for backport, but
they don't need to hold anything up.
RC1 this week? :-) Hyrum?
