Subject: [PATCH] svnwc: fix regular expression vulnerable to DoS in blame
 functionality

The subpattern `\d+\s*\S+` is ambiguous which makes the pattern subject
to catastrophic backtracing given a string like `"1" * 5000`.

SVN blame output seems to always have at least one space between the
revision number and the user name, so the ambiguity can be fixed by
changing the `*` to `+`.

Fixes #256.
