Possible BUG with patch creation in newline style

Until version 1.5, when TortoiseSVN was creating a patch, the patch
file was using Windows end-of-line (i.e. \r\n) for every line of the
patch. So moving the patch file to unix, only consisted of converting
the file to the Unix end-of-line.

In version 1.5, the patch file is using a mixture of both \r\n and \n.
It uses \r\n for the patch context, i.e:

Index: eiffel/interface/class_c.e
===================================================================
--- eiffel/interface/class_c.e (revision 74090)
+++ eiffel/interface/class_c.e (working copy)

and \n for the patch content.

So now when moving a patch to unix, you still have to do something,
i.e. removing the \r.

I'm not sure why this was changed, but I would kindly request that it
only uses \n as it will make my life easier to move patches from one
platform to the other.

Thanks,
Manu
