[zim 0.28] Svn undefined subroutine on windows

Ok, I forgot to import the translation method there, my bad.

However patching this will not fix your problem as the bug happens in the exception hook after trying to enable SVN. If this happens for some reason zim could not execute "svn --version --quiet > devnull". Please double check svn is in the PATH when zim is running.

I logged out of Zim and restarted it, and this time it did work
correctly with svn however, it does not like checking out the project
if one exists in SVN before Zim (i.e if you created it somewhere
else). To resolve this i manually checked out the Notes then started
Zim by double clicking on the notebook.zim to load the notes up.

Regards

Mark

Yes, checkout is really not supported within zim at this moment, that needs to be done manually, or with dedicated svn management interface.

Fix for error message committed in rev138.
