svn cat patch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This patch allows you to get the contents of a file and store it in an ant
property.


<svn><cat url="${svn.branchdir}/VERSION" contentsProperty="version"/></svn>

it also includes a string-munging task that just chops off the last
component of a URL...  we use it, but not sure it's needed in general
(there may be other ant tasks for string manipulation elsewhere)?

<svn><getParentUrl url="${svn.url}" parentUrlProperty="svn.branchdir" /></svn>

Joe, I'm finally getting around to this patch and I've realized you don't need 
these within 
this project.

http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/loadfile.html (replaces <cat>)

The other one also isn't really svn specific.

I'm sorry, but I've got to close this as wontfix.
