Probably in practice the passed in objects are one of the buffered types
where the read() behaves as this code obviously expected, which is likely
why this hasn't been noticed before. However, we can't actually *know*
that, and anything with a read() method would actually be perfectly valid.
So it seems like a good patch to me.

However, svn_stream_t "full read" functions are obligated to return the
