Bug: property diff on a directory named explicitly

[Julian Foad <ju...@btopenworld.com>]

Diff of a property change or addition should contain a "+" line.
Diff of a property change or deletion should contain a "-" line.
On a diff between repository revisions (not WC) of a dir named
explicitly, the "-" line is missing.  (For a file, and for a dir
recursed into, the result is correct.)


Here is an example of the effect:

~/tmp/sandbox> svn diff -r104:105

Property changes on: dir
___________________________________________________________________
Name: prop
    - oldval
    + newval

~/tmp/sandbox> svn diff -r104:105 dir

Property changes on: dir
___________________________________________________________________
Name: prop
    + newval


The only relevant issue that I can find is #1493: "Property Diffs Should 
Use libsvn_diff".

I have attached a test for this which I propose to check in first as XFAIL.

Then we can see about fixing it.

I checked in the test in r11570.

I tried to track down the cause of this in GDB, but got lost.
