[SVN-3362] svn diff creates patch which does not reapply without fuzz

Description

In certain cases, the output from svn diff which is generally used to create
patches doesn't produce a patch which will reapply without any fuzz. Some
applications, like Tortoise Merge, expect patches to be fuzz free in order to
reapply them. Details about how to generate and reproduce this bug may be found
here:

Since this issue directly affects the ability of users to create patches which
can be reapplied cleanly and prevents them from being reapplied in some
circumstances, I'm submitting this as a priority 1 bug.
