[PATCH] svn status -v dies with revisions > 999999

From: Jay Freeman \(saurik\) <saurik_at_saurik.com>

Small misuse of format specifiers leads to some stack corruption. The
specifier for "width" only sets the minimum number of characters to use
during output, not the maximum; for that you need to use "precision" (as is
done for the various strings in this function), but "precision" doesn't work
for settings maximums on integers anyway. I ended up just moving the
limitation until the actual printf() occurs and make the buffer for the
sprintf() large enough to accept the data. Seemed to work for some reason I
don't even want to understand on my Linux box, but it probably just caused a
different form of corruption.

BTW, it would be nice if it would actually output more than the first 6
characters of the revision, but then again, I'm probably the only person who
is going to run into this problem for _quite_ a while :).
