The svn commandline client traps control-C's and handles them with its
own signal handler (so that your working copy doesn't end up
inconsistent.)

The problem here is that the prompting function (which is reading your
keystrokes) isn't checking to see if Ctrl-C has been noticed by the
signal handler.

At the moment, there's no way for that to happen, since the proper
signal/cancellation func isn't even being passed into the prompting
func. Perhaps we could add a new prompting API in svn 1.1 that takes
such an argument.
