Even in this case it would be nice to flush every line. Redirecting to a
file a long running operation is a way to create a log file of the
operation [1]. And it's nice to be able to do a "tail -f" on that. (Not
that I can think of any command which would take so long in subversion
that somebody would want to redirect it to a file and run it in
background...)

[1] = This flush would only be for status output, not for commands like
"svn cat" or "svn diff".
