Package: subversion
Version: 1.1.4-2
Severity: important

svn diff's output is incomplete, it ignores the deletion of
directories. Check these two commands, they only differ in the order of
arguments.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ svn diff \
  svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-exim4/exim/tags/4.50-4 \
  svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-exim4/exim/trunk  \
  | wc 2>/dev/null

Redirecting the outputs to files and comparing their contents with
lsdiff [1] shows that the former command does not show the information
about deletion of the debian/exim4-config-medium and
debian/exim4-config-simple directory trees.
