neither builds with SVN 1.4 nor complains that it's too old

[Samuel Bronson]

It seems that building subvertpy with SVN 1.4 broke right after 0.8.1.

While it would be perfectly reasonable to abandon support for SVN 1.4, it doesn't look like you've intentionally done this either: I mean, if you had, presumably you would have made it fail in a clearer manner, i.e. using something like:

#error subvertpy no longer supports SVN 1.4
#error either upgrade SVN or use subvertpy 0.8.1

What exactly broke about 1.4 support? I'm not actively trying to remove support for 1.4 but I do try to pay attention to it when making changes.

Well, this is what happens right now:
