Re: svn password prompt hanging in PowerShell

Just circling back with an update. The Tortoise folks discovered this is a bug in a library that shipped in Windows 10 RS4, possibly related to VS2017.

See https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/245451/unbuffered-console-io-is-broken-only-in-release-bu.html

As such I suspect it will probably affect other distributions if they use a similar build tool chain.

Okay. In that case, please report this problem to one of the
TortoiseSVN lists: https://tortoisesvn.net/community.html

It appears to be something specific to their build.
