That's a good idea. I'll do that in a separate commit.

It is a pity, but I might as well write a new test like you proposed.

Fixed.

Thanks, I've used this docstring.

Sure. We can add an error code and make svn_stream_readline() return
an error if readline_fn is NULL. Just like it's done for reset/mark/seek.

See my other mail, this change has been reverted.

Actually, it should set it to NULL to conform to the API. Fixed.
I also forgot to update its parameter list in the last diff I sent :-/

Yes, you're right. Taking that shortcut is wrong because it can
inadvertently override a custom stream method.

OK, I'll fix up the bits above and commit.
Thanks for review :)
