Patch: auto_ptr is frequently abused in TSVN code

Hey.

In TSVN sources std::auto_ptr is often used for controlling arrays. This works by pure luck. auto_ptr destructor invokes delete but the array has been allocated with new[]. Pairing new[] with delete instead of with delete[] is undefined behaviour. This works because for primitive types VC++ maps new[] onto new but it might stop working with another version of C++ compiler.

Fixed this in two patches.

Best wishes.
Dmitry.
