The error you're seeing is svn getting EAGAIN -- which usually happens
when writing to a file descriptor set up for nonblocking operation.
This would be a sporadic error, based on the timing of the reads made
by svnmerge.  It's quite possible, then, that this is a Python bug
(accidentally leaving a file descriptor in nonblocking mode).

It seems like you've found a workable solution, anyway.
