	Example of how to use:
		1. Put this file in the same directory as your build.gradle file.
		
		2. Near the very top of your build.gradle source file add this line: 
			apply from: 'helperSvn.gradle'
			
		3. You can now do svn commands like:
		
			doSvnMain( 'export', 'http://svn.codehaus.org/gmod/gsql/tags/gsql-1.5.0/', 'build/svnExport' );
			
			doSvnMain( 'help' );
			
			... etc. ...
			
			Note: each command line arg you would normally supply to a svn command should be an arg passed to doSvnMain
				  (since we are not using the OS shell you should probably not have to double quote any of the args).
