So as far as I can tell the story really is only about newlines.  (If
svn-fe tried to push history back to Subversion, life would presumably

I think I've been trying to balance two incompatible use cases -
ordinary users that just need a heads-up about a bug that might bite
them, and authors of related tools (i.e. me) that need technical
information about svn-fe.

I think your text serves ordinary users better, so I'll investigate
pushing history back to Subversion tomorrow and think how to write
something more technical.  I'm afraid my patch etiquette fails me here
though - is it better for me to roll your text into a new patch, or let
you do that and submit my text separately?
