Well, that is a property change and it is surprising that the log
shows the diff of the change. Normally logs only show what has been
changed but not the diff. Neither John, nor I expected this behaviour.
And normally the svn:log changes I suggested won't trigger this. This
was a kind of special case. Perhaps bugzilla shouldn't track svn:log
changes (specially since it cannot distinguish what is deleted and
what is added).
Cheers,
Manuel.
