As Daniel said, our log messages are normally a bit shorter ;) Just a
few of the key phrases should be sufficient.

For the SVN_CURRENT_TEST variable, I propose to make it '--use-jsvn'
specific. We probably won't need this environment variable for ourself
in the foreseeable future. I really don't mind a bit of jsvn-specific
code in our test suite. BTW, that line where you set the environment
variable is more than 80 characters long. Whoever is committing this
should fix that before committing.
