Commit email shows property changes incorrectly

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

r117622 changed the svn:ignore property of the directory trunk/base/src/macports1.0 as follows:

Index: trunk/base/src/macports1.0
===================================================================
--- trunk/base/src/macports1.0	(revision 117621)
+++ trunk/base/src/macports1.0	(revision 117622)

Property changes on: trunk/base/src/macports1.0
___________________________________________________________________
Modified: svn:ignore
## -1,5 +1,6 ##
 *.dylib
+Makefile
 macports_autoconf.tcl
+macports_fastload.tcl
 macports_test_autoconf.tcl
-macports_fastload.tcl
 pkgIndex.tcl

This is how svn diff shows it. Trac shows it similarly. In ​the commit email, however, it's shown less well. The text part of the email shows it like this:

Property changes on: trunk/base/src/macports1.0
___________________________________________________________________
Modified: svn:ignore
   - *.dylib
macports_autoconf.tcl
macports_test_autoconf.tcl
macports_fastload.tcl
pkgIndex.tcl

   + *.dylib
Makefile
macports_autoconf.tcl
macports_fastload.tcl
macports_test_autoconf.tcl
pkgIndex.tcl

This is unnecessarily convoluted but is at least accurate. The HTML part, however, which is what most viewers will see in their email readers, is completely wrong:

<div id=3D"patch">
<h3>Diff</h3>
<a id=3D"trunkbasesrcmacports10"></a>
<div class=3D"propset"><h4>Property changes: trunk/base/src/macports1.0</=
h4>
<pre class=3D"diff"><span>
</span></pre></div>
<a id=3D"svnignore"></a>
<div class=3D"modfile"><h4>Modified: svn:ignore</h4></div>
<span class=3D"cx">macports_autoconf.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">macports_test_autoconf.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">macports_fastload.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">pkgIndex.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">   + *.dylib
</span><span class=3D"cx">Makefile
</span><span class=3D"cx">macports_autoconf.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">macports_fastload.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">macports_test_autoconf.tcl
</span><span class=3D"cx">pkgIndex.tcl
</span>

Note how it's an encoding of the text version, but with the first line (" - *.dylib") omitted, thereby making it unintelligible.

Is Mac OS Forge doing this deliberately, or is this just the behavior of the ​SVN::Notify script we're using to send emails? If the latter, are we using the latest version of SVN::Notify, 2.84? If not, could we update to that version to see if that helps?

With the move to Git this should be obsolete.
