What about the following trivial script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, os
(pid, master) = os.forkpty()
if pid == 0:
    os.execvp(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[1:])
while 1:
    try:
        s = os.read(master, 0x1000)
    except:
        break
    sys.stdout.write(s)

Instead of littering your flushes all over the code, just run your subversion
command through this. No svn changes necessary.

(If you insist in changing the client, why not add a global option
which just sets the stdout buffering to line mode?)
