Thanks, Chris. This looks much better already. (I haven't tried it.)

I suggest it should simply not provide any completions that cannot be
obtained without further input. Use --non-interactive so that
Subversion does not prompt for passwords. Prevent any stderr output
being printed to the console (maybe use "2> /dev/null"). Then make
sure the script behaves OK (just returning no completions) when
Subversion returns an error. You might need to look for a non-zero
exit code explicitly, but maybe not: it might be enough to just try
parsing the stdout and if there is no recognizable stdout then you get
no resulting completions.

Dropping support for Bash 3 sounds OK to me, if it is difficult to
keep it working. Especially good if only the URL completion depends on
Bash 4 and all the rest of the existing kinds of completion keep
working with Bash 3.

Excellent, that looks like the sort of thing I was hoping for.
