RE: [PATCH] libsvn_client/status.c

Bah. Always display network error messages. Even if you can continue on
without it.

At minimum you could do something like:
Warning: Couldn't connect to repository
Warning: error text goes here

Hiding network connection errors are just going to frustrate the user,
esp. when network errors can take several seconds to time out. If these
things were always instantanious, or something else quck to fail, then I
wouldn't mind so much, but network communications errors really should
always be reported.
Even if they're treated as warnings.

Because if I run 'svn status' and the network fails for some reason, I
still want to see local mods. Better to have half the information than
return a gross error to the user.
