Currently, lines such as:
\\ this is a comment
anywhere in the patch are silently ignored.
If we follow your suggestion we must treat any such lines as hunk
terminators and assume the hunk lacks a trailing newline.
I suppose such a change is correct but it's a behaviour change so
I wouldn't want to backport it to 1.7.x.
Below is a patch. Diff parser tests and patch tests are still passing.
[[[
* subversion/libsvn_diff/parse-diff.c
(parse_next_hunk): Treat any line that starts with a backslash as a
hunk terminator, indicating that the hunk does not end with EOL.
Comments following the backslash might be localised or missing
in which case parsing the patch would fail.
