Subject: missing carriage returns from output of "svn diff" in Windows
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Running Subversion 1.6.15 under Windows 7, if I redirect the output of 
"svn diff" to a file and then try to edit that file using Notepad, the 
line breaks are garbled.  In particular they have only the '\n' 
character, not the '\r' character.

For example, if "svn_usage_notes.txt" is in my repository, and I do the 
following in a sandbox:

echo foo >> svn_usage_notes.txt
echo bar >> svn_usage_notes.txt
echo zot >> svn_usage_notes.txt
svn diff svn_usage_notes.txt > wowow.txt
od -c wowow.txt

I get:

0000000   I   n   d   e   x   :       s   v   n   _   u   s   a   g   e
0000020   _   n   o   t   e   s   .   t   x   t  \r  \n   =   =   =   =
0000040   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =

0000120   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =   =  \r
0000140  \n   -   -   -       s   v   n   _   u   s   a   g   e   _   n
0000160   o   t   e   s   .   t   x   t  \t   (   r   e   v   i   s   i
0000200   o   n       1   1   1   6   )  \r  \n   +   +   +       s   v

0000260  \r  \n   @   @       -   6   1   2   2   ,   3       +   6   1
0000300   2   2   ,   6       @   @  \r  \n      \n       M   a   r   k
0000320       P   h   i   p   p   a   r   d  \n       h   t   t   p   :
0000340   /   /   m   a   r   k   p   h   i   p   .   b   l   o   g   s
0000360   p   o   t   .   c   o   m   /  \n   +   f   o   o      \n   +
0000400   b   a   r      \n   +   z   o   t      \n
0000413

Note how the first part of the file has "\r\n" while the last part 
(showing the extra lines) has only '\n'.  The file itself has "\r\n" for 
every line, and I have the following line in 
C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\config:

*.txt = svn:eol-style=native

The absence of newlines makes it impossible to view the differences file 
in Notepad.  Years ago before I knew about "unzip -a", I wrote a program 
to add carriage returns to text files being copied from Linux to Windows 
and so I can use that, but it would be nice to have system-appropriate 
line endings in the output of "svn diff" without this extra step.

Is anyone else seeing this?  Is there a configuration parameter I can 
set to fix it, or is it a bug that should be bumped to the dev list?

(For the record, I have "UnxUtils.zip" loaded, so I have a number of 
Unix/Linux utilities such as "od" available under Windows, and only the 
Windows Subversion executable ever writes into a Windows sandbox.)

Thanks.
