Changes since v2:

* Fix inverted condition in t1517.
* Stop checking for old versions of SVN Perl libraries since they are
  so old nobody is using them.
* Adjust the various cases where we choose between the error and
  non-error help output.

Thanks, I have no complaints on this version.

In the earlier thread I sketched out a hypothetical caller that might be
affected by the change, but beyond raw speculation, I don't think we
have any way of knowing how common such a thing is. So I'm inclined to
proceed and see if anybody screams during this development cycle.

;-)  100% agreed on the issue of possible regressions.
