SubversionRepo: do not use temporary file in get_file()
Existing code says swig bindings do not support StringIO objects as output for
svn.ra.get_file(). This issue was never reported in the convert extension.

"""This is a special package because it contains (or will contain, as of now) two parallel implementations of the same code. One implementation, the original, uses the SWIG Python bindings. That's great, but those leak RAM and have a few other quirks. There are new, up-and-coming ctypes bindings for Subversion which look more promising, and are portible backwards to 1.4's libraries. The goal is to have this file automatically contain the "best" available implementation without the user having to configure what is actually present.
