1.6.0 svn client commit bug

[Kyle McKay <ma...@gmail.com>]

Using the released 1.6.0 svn client from the command line on Mac OS X  
(bash shell):

$ svnadmin create /tmp/svntest
$ SVN_EDITOR=/bin/cat svn mkdir file:///tmp/svntest/dir

--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

A    .

Log message unchanged or not specified
(a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit:
a
$

Using the released 1.5.6 (and 1.5.5) svn client from the command line  
on Mac OS X (bash shell):

$ svnadmin create /tmp/svntest2
$ SVN_EDITOR=/bin/cat svn mkdir file:///tmp/svntest2/dir

--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

A    file:///tmp/svntest2/dir

Log message unchanged or not specified
(a)bort, (c)ontinue, (e)dit :
a
$

Notice how the "A    ." comment line is incorrect with the 1.6.0 client.

In fact if you list multiple directories to create with the svn 1.6.0  
client mkdir command, they all show exactly the same way as "A    ."  
in the comments.

The same behavior has been observed with the svn 1.6.0 client against  
a remote (svn+ssh) 1.5.5 repository.  The above is simply the easiest  
and quickest way to reproduce it.

The 1.5 series client does not seem to have this bug.
