Building a bit on the previous issue, I've updated the test files to
show the full extent of the problem. Attached are the updated files.
test.txt is the original file committed to the archive, test_v2.txt is
the modified version of test.txt, and test.patch is the resulting
output from svn diff. If test.txt is reverted to the original version
and the patch applied with patch -p0 < test.patch, patch produces the
following output:
$ patch -p0 < test.patch
patching file 'test.txt'
Hunk #2 succeeded at 7 (offset 2 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 11 (offset -2 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 25 (offset 2 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 31 (offset -2 lines).
As you can see, the patch does not apply cleanly. The correct offset
should be 0 lines for a perfect patch file. As you can see.. not only
is the offset of the second hunk wrong, but all following hunks are
wrong as well.
