Indeed, 10 characters:
[[[
return svn_stream_printf(out, pool, "%s %10s ", rev_str,
author ? author : " -");
]]]

Hm, yes. It might be a good opportunity for me to get my feet wet (I'm
actually looking at making blame faster, cf. mail thread of a couple
of weeks ago; but it might be a good idea to try something simpler
first :-)).
However, not having thought long about this problem: what would be the
desired behavior?
Should I first determine the maximum length of rev_str and author for
the entire file and then use that as the column width (maybe with a
minimum of 6 for rev_str and 10 for author, like it is now)?
