Error showing patch file - "no newline at end of file" sign accepted

[jl <linne@…>]

When attaching a patch-file with an incomplete line sign the trac system hangs.

The following error is found in the log:

It seems that it not understand the diff character '\'

Here is the patch file, that is not shown up:

I attached the test file, that is unable to preview.

Also a small patch that solves the problem is here:

This patch file could not be shown!

Thanks for the report, but I'll fix it differently, as I think it's better to explicitely show what happens. In particular, I want to make it clear which file has a missing end-of-line (the base or the target for the diff?).

e.g.

$ diff -u nonewline newline
--- nonewline   2006-10-27 08:36:48.453125000 +0200

Fixed in r4067.

As the fix is not easy to backport to 0.10.1 and the defect is minor, I've changed the milestone.
