Correction: I misrembered. This wasn't happening in Jenkins, but in an
automated test environment ("SQS Test") which executes batch scripts on
remote Windows boxes without giving users an interactive shell.

But really, any program that runs 'svn' and collects stdout/stderr data
to generate a report based on that is affected by this problem, if it
waits until the 'svn' process is done before process collected data.
The controlling process cannot tell whether 'svn' is taking a long
time to produce another line on stdout, or whether 'svn' hangs.
