Oh well.

When this ends in failure, is there something at the end of the buffer
*Test* that looks like stderr output? The process might not just stop
and return status 1, but it could print something usable as well.
Also, just to be able to separate stderr output more easily, you could
use 'make-process' instead of 'start-process' because it allows to
specify a separate buffer for errors.
There are also some options outlined for trying to get more verbose
output of it here --
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8416989/is-it-possible-to-get-svn-client-debug-output
-- but it seems like this might only work with some client versions. And
most answers are 5-10 years old.
