How well would it mesh with the goal of the ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal
topic, which is now stalled [*1*]? I do not mean this change and the other
topic textually conflict with each other---but the philosophies of this
topic and the other one seem to conflict. Not falling back to the terminal
that is not available and failing the command outright might make more
sense.
I dunno.
[Footnote]
*1* Will the topic see any action soon? I am inclined to throw the topic
into "not even the original author is not interested" category otherwise.
