Nathan, I appreciate the intent, but Yasuhito and I are both familiar with the
semantics of str and bytes objects in Python 3. We're not asking what the
difference between bytes and str is, or how to work with them; we are simply
trying to resolve two particular test failures, in svnadmin_ and
tree_conflict_tests.py. Specifically, we're trying to determine whether file
contents should be handled as str or as bytes, both in the test function and in
the test framework.

Cheers,

Daniel
