Log:
Fix the svn_checksum_to_cstring() docstring to actually say what
was intended. Also, make clear that the behavior is new for 1.7 and
trying to use it in 1.6 will cause segfaults.

* subversion/include/svn_checksum.h
   (svn_checksum_to_cstring): fix docstring

What happens if somebody makes a svn tool that is compiled and built against the new 1.7 behavior and then it is backported to 1.6, it may core dump.

Should we add a svn_checksum_to_cstring2() instead with the new behavior or backport this change to 1.6? But even then we'll have 1.6 versions with different behavior. It seems making a new svn_checksum_to_cstring2() is better.

Blair
