Error in SVN book, chapter 7: "Using external differencing tools"

From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.externaldifftools.html:

"Finally, Subversion expects that your program return an errorcode of 0 if your program detected differences, or 1 if it did not—-- any other errorcode is considered a fatal error. [41]"

Yet the footnote [41] and examples show exactly the opposite returnin an errorcode of 0 when no differences were detected and 1 when differences were detected.

This is from the nightly build version.

Suggested phrasing:

"Finally, Subversion expects that your program return an errorcode of 0 if your program did not detect any differences, or 1 if it did --—any other errorcode is considered a fatal error."

Yours,
