Missing "the" before "svn".

I find this sentence confusing.  The command line does not know whether
it's run from a script or not.  It'd be better to separate the criterion
("!isatty(stdin)") from the typical use-case (scripts with no
controlling tty, such as cron jobs).  Example:

   ... to run in interactive mode when standard input is not a terminal device, ...

Both of the above issues apply to this paragraph as well.

Also, another "the" is needed before the <option/>.
