#2381: SVN export method can't export single files

------------------------+-----------------------
 A cool feature of `svn export` is that it works nicely with single files.
 I use this feature to retrieve a script that will launch tests against my
 codebase.

 Unfortunately, in `master/buildbot/steps/source/svn.py`, SVN.copy() (which
 also handles exporting) assumes that repourl is a directory, and never a
 file.

 If you still want to try the incremental checkout first, but only if the
 path points to a directory, it's possible to retrieve this information
 from `svn info` "Node kind" line (but #2375 will have to be fixed first).

 I'd be happy to try to implement this myself.
