Hi Brane, Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that '\ No newline at end of file' was special: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff#Unified_format ... but I hear you can't believe everything you read on the Internet ;-) Regardless, my original question for Daniel still holds: This test seems to be checking if 'svn patch' can apply a property value with no trailing newline, but is there even a way to represent such a property in the unidiff format? If there is not, then I don't see how this test is valid (in the sense that it is never going to pass). Paul
