You're talking about the header that looks like this?

@@ -183,6 +185,8 @@

(Meaning, in this case: The old version had 6 lines beginning at line 183; the new version has 8 lines beginning at line 185)

Is it possible the document has mixed line ending styles? -- some lines ending with CRLF and some ending with LF? If so, fix this, ideally by making use of the svn:eol-style property.
