[Buildroot] Support for linux kernel custom svn repository

[John O'Sullivan <john.osullivan@cloudiumsystems.com>]

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to buildroot-2015-05 from buildroot-2013-05. My custom kernel is held in an SVN repository and I had to alter buildroot-2013-05
  to support this. I was just wondering why this option is not available?

I made the following alterations but I am still hitting an error
In linux/Config.in I added an option for SVN

But When I run this I get an error:
