Why? Not all ttys are interactive of course. But I don't really care if
people piping their line printers or modems into svn's stdin get interactive
mode by default. Is there any other downside to using isatty()?
And, actually, don't we want to check stdin, not stderr or stdout?

The simple patch below implements it with the isatty() on *nix and
_isatty() on Windows (untested -- thanks for the hint Bert!).
We can still change this implementation to use your open() /dev/tty idea later.
However, this is enough to suppress prompts if stdin is piped into 'svn'
and if 'svn' is run from cron. I believe that's an improvement.

Well, I would guess there are more people who are bitten by forgetting
to pass --non-interactive in normal scripts than there are people writing
scrapers that type answers into the prompts. I've met one person who
made this mistake just last week, who couldn't figure out why 'svn' was
hanging up their automated build jobs (it was asking for credentials).
