title: Is there a way to stop SVN logs telling me that a whole paragraph has been edited when only a single character change?
body: <p>Suppose I have a document under SVN. My collaborator removed a comma from where I had typed one incorrectly. I get an email to show me that an edit has been made, and the log tells me that an entire paragraph (the one containing the comma) has been removed, and has been replaced by a new one. On closer inspection, I see that the paragraphs are almost identical, and so I find it time-consuming searching through the paragraphs) to determine what has been edited.</p>
  
  <p>I've been told that, in order to avoid this issue, I should regularly press 'enter'/ 'return' in the editor that I write the document with. The 'problem' is that in my editor, when I get to the end of the screen, it just moves to the next line down (obviously). However, SVN doesn't understand that this is a new line (and the whole paragraph ends up being on one line). If, when I get to the end of a line in the editor, I just press enter, the SVN issue is solved. However, things quickly get messy in the editor, and it's a right pain in the arse to see what's going on.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a solution to this (common?) problem?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong>
  Unfortunately, I can't say anything more about the workings behind these SVN emails I get. All I really know is that some 'system' has been developed to do this where I work.</p>
