Description

### Affected version

2.2.1

### Bug description

The commit [SvnCommandLineUtils](https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/commit/86c30f7d1676f9781ce357e7acfa02d94739b2bf#diff-1d51707c33c78452bb7df2dacec99badb65a9a770e63c8248888addd3c6390faR73) broke backwards compatibility as it removed the old method only taking two arguments. For example https://github.com/apache/maven-changelog-plugin is affected.

Research direction

Start with SvnCommandLineUtils and the linked 86c30f7 commit, comparing the current API with the removed two-argument method. Check the Maven SCM tests and the affected maven-changelog-plugin usage. Done means existing two-argument callers work again without breaking the current API.
