I've reproduced your patch below.
There could be other reasons for being unable to find a temporary
directory, with being out of disk space only one of them. The directory
may not exist, it may not be writable by the user, or Subversion could
be prohibited from writing there by other means (eg, SELinux). I
hesitant to give more information in this error message, for fear of
leading other users astray.
