Re: Python bindings API confusion

The patch seems to work pretty well (for svn_repos_fs_commit_txn), but
there are two issues I have with it.

First, unless I'm mistaken, there's no way to get the conflict_p back as
part of the 2-tuple return value -- if there's a conflict,
svn.repos.fs_commit_txn() is going to raise an Exception. So we're
basically returning a 2-tuple whose first value is always None. We might
as well preserve the current behavior and return the newly committed
revision as a singleton. (Which also means we don't break compatibility
with prior versions.)

Also, I don't love that we've used "conflict_p" and "new_rev" as the
variables names within the SubversionException. Anything we do here will
be non-obvious and require documentation, so I'd rather give these things
meaningful names ("conflict_path" and "new_revision"). But as a concept,
I'd say this part works well.

Does this change anything about the svn_fs_commit_txn() interface?
