Will fix for issue 4396 be included in the next release (1.8.2)?

I am new to the Subversion lists (I'm not subscribed but monitor the lists' feed) and have not seen any chatter about issue 4396. This issue is really affecting our development as we cannot easily view diffs and our automated code review mechanism is broken as well. Most of our major repos user externals in a way that we are affected by this issue. All the users who have upgraded to 1.8.1 have this problem and can't go back to 1.7.X easily because their sandboxes have been upgraded.

The current STATUS entry for this issue is:

 * r1504192, r1504505
   Make 'svn diff' continue on missing and obstructing files.
   This resolves issue 4396
   Justification:
     Regression since 1.7.
   Votes:
     +1: philip, rhuijben

I don't know how many votes are required for inclusion, but I strongly urge you to vote for this change as it is really affecting our development and in my view is a major regression.

Thanks,
Alfred

P.S. Is there a target date for the 1.8.2 release?
