Hi Team,

I observed that for `svn patch` to apply properly, the spaces between filename 
and revision in the patch must be a tab. However, the GNU patch works 
irrespective of the number of spaces between filename and revision. For 
example, the below patch can be applied using the GNU patch, however with `svn 
patch` it fails to apply the patch as there are more spaces between filename 
and revision argument (brcm_cos_utils.c     (revision 1070911)).

Index: brcm_cos_utils.c
===================================================================
--- brcm_cos_utils.c     (revision 1070911)            <<< Extra spaces between 
filename and revision.
+++ brcm_cos_utils.c   (working copy)

Wondering if this can be considered as a feature request for svn, as GNU (Unix) 
patch handles it irrespective of the spaces between filenames and revision.

Thanks,
Dipu H
