pydoc patch for Subversion

[Eric Mathew Hopper]

I have a patch that allows pydoc to deal with Subversion
(http://www.subversion.tigris.org) style version strings.

Subversion does not do '$Revsion: num$' style tags.  The closest it will
get is '$Rev: num$'.  So, I included a check for that type as well.

It's a patch to this version of pydoc.py

__version__ = "$Revision: 1.86.8.1 $"

Thanks,
