Okay.

I see, but note that even if the changes don't conflict textually, they
might still interact in other ways. In this example, one of the
revisions to be merged, r1824410, adds a call to svn_diff_file_output_unified4(),
which takes an «svn_stream_t *output_stream» parameter.

Well, until INFRA-7524 gets implemented, we'll just have to get you
commit access to ^/subversion/branches ☺

Okay. Generally we prefer a second iteration of the patch to be sent as
a diff against HEAD, in order for the submissions to be self-contained.

'check-swig-py3' is the entire test suite, as far as I know.

Good idea.

Yes, please. Tests would help us review the change. You can use
svn_stream_empty() or svn_stream_from_stringbuf() for the tests.

Yes, running ViewVC is a good smoke test, though one that doesn't
necessarily have good coverage of the relevant interfaces. Then again,
I'm not sure that check-swig-py has good coverage either…
