[Ohrrpgce] Subversion-like game updates

[Seth Hetu]

This is the main reason why there should be a text-format alternative
to GAME. However, it seems that most OHR games are one-man shows.
(That's just my opinion, could easily be wrong.) Perhaps you could
make use of SVN's "lock" action whenever you want to edit a particular
game file (e.g., a map)?
