Josh's SVN wrapper script

This wrapper script to Subversion supplements normal svn behavior by
adding additional functionality or modifying the output of the default
svn subcommands. Much of the functionality implemented here was inspired
by the way that git works.

It is recommended to put this script in your $PATH as 'jsvn' or something
other than 'svn' and to make an alias svn='jsvn'.
For example, this .bash_aliases stanza will check if 'jsvn' is in your
path and automatically alias 'svn' to it if so:
  if [[ "$(which jsvn 2>/dev/null)" != "" ]]; then
      alias svn='jsvn'
  fi

Implemented subcommands:
 add <file>...
  - add files as usual; add recursive contents of directories
 branch[es] [[-d] <branch_name>]
  - with no arguments, list branches with '*' by the current one
  - with -d, delete <branch>
  - otherwise, create a new branch from the current one
 tag[s] [[-d] <tag_name>] | [-m <old_tag_name> <new_tag_name>]
  - with no arguments, list tags
  - with -d, delete <tag>
  - with -m, rename <old_tag_name> to <new_tag_name>
  - otherwise, create a new tag from the current branch
 switch <short_name>
  - switch to 'trunk', branch name, or tag name without having to specify
    the full URL
  - falls back to Subversion "switch" if <short_name> doesn't exist
 merge <branch>
  - merge branch <branch> into the current WC path
  - falls back to Subversion "merge" if <branch> doesn't exist
 root
  - output root URL (for use on shell such as "svn log $(svn root)/tags")
 url
  - output repository URL of current working directory
 watch-lock
  - block until the lock on a file/URL is released
 users
  - show a list of contributing users to a SVN path
 binaries [--set-lock]
  - show a list of versioned binary files under the current path, with
    a prepended '*' for those with svn:needs-lock set
  - with --set-lock, set svn:needs-lock to '*' for binaries
 lockable [--remove] | [--status] <file[s]>
  - with no switches, set svn:needs-lock to '*' for file[s]
  - with --remove, remove svn:needs-lock' for file[s]
  - with --status, prepended '*' for those with svn:needs-lock set
 externals
  - print a list of the externals in the repository

The following subcommands are executed using their native handler, but
have their output simplified and/or colorized:
 - diff
 - log
 - status
 - update

If the subcommand name begins with two leading underscores ("__"), the
underscores will be stripped and the command will be handled by native
Subversion without any jsvn processing.

Configuration:

jsvn will execute the file ~/.jsvn, if it exists, as a Python script.
Variables written to will be used as configuration directives.
Available configuration directives:
  use_color: True or False to enable/disable colorization of svn output
  use_pager: True or False to enable/disable automatic piping of svn
             output to a pager program
  pager:     A string specifying the pager program (and args) to execute
  aliases['XXX']: A string or list defining the alias 'XXX'. A string
             can be used if the alias expands to a single argument. A
             list must be used to pass multiple arguments to svn.

Configuration Examples:
  pager = 'less -FRXi' # enable case-insensitive searching in less
  aliases['revert'] = ['revert', '-R'] # default to recursive reverts
  aliases['s'] = ['status', '--ignore-externals']
  aliases['status'] = '__status' # ignore jsvn processing of status command
