'cat' seems to imply both a fetch and a print to stdout, I like that a
lot. It goes nicely with 'svn ls'. If we went this route, 'svn ls'
and 'svn cat' would be partners in crime: they both dump information
to the screen, both take a revision arg, and both operate on either
wc-paths or urls. There's a nice consistency there.
On the other hand, I'm still not sure if it's better to create a whole
new subcommand or not. I'm still thinking about that.
