I just noticed that svn_client_blame6 does not, of course, have a
parameter called 'force'. But it does have a parameter called
'ignore_mime_type'.
Also the assertion that "lines are split on LF" turns out to be wrong
and misleading. Line endings are translated first, through
svn_subst_stream_translated(), and this happens regardless of the MIME
type. These parts of the new docstrings should be fixed before the next
release.
How about this:
* @note the line is split on newline bytes. Clients must be aware of this
* when dealing with different encodings of the file/line.
* Blaming non ASCII/UTF-8 files requires the @a ignore_mime_type flag
to be

mentioning that the split is done on newline *bytes* should be clear enough?
Of course, better ideas are always welcome.
