Usually the way to do it would be:

  svn diff

Unfortunately you:

a) ran diff manually
b) didn't use '-u' to create a unified diff

Umm... Without really seeing your changes (while my brain can process
a unified diff, I can't really process a non-context/non-unified diff)
I can only guess.  My first guess is that you changed the available
options so that when gnucash reloads the options into the report it
fails.  But I don't know without seeing the code and seeing the
crash backtrace.

It would be "allowed" in a major release change, but certainly not
within a stable release.  E.g., this happened between 1.6 -> 1.8
and again from 2.0 -> 2.2.  (It might have happened from 1.8 -> 2.0
too, but I don't recall).
