convert: fix test-convert-svn-* problems with mtime not changing

The `svn commit` command does not detect changed files unless
their mtime has changed. A quick succession of, for instance,
`svn co ...; echo x >> y; svn ci` can thus lead to the change to y
being ignored.

Edited by pmezard to write in binary mode.

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""
