What Cassie is referring to is not SVN commit diffs, but rather patch diffs
sent in by non-comitters.

The best thing to do is probably to take the actual patch file and open it
with tkdiff or some other tool that understands the format. When they don't
send a file, you have to copy the text into a new file and then do this.
It's a pain, but it's about the best you can hope for.
