Oh, I don't know - I think in general the more interesting question is
whether or not /dev/tty can be opened. I mean what if I do something
like:

  find . -name '*.pdf' | xargs svn update

This pipeline might seem odd, but I think it's reasonable, and I think
it would be reasonable to prompt me over /dev/tty (note that stdin is
not available since svn is in a pipeline).
