The current output will have to be ... more heuristically parsed, yes. (You could look for a line of 72 hyphens followed by a line that begins with 'r', I suppose.) --xml is an option, always, but a bit like using a Buick to swat a fly for most folks. But as you've noted, the *default* output of 'svn log' and 'svn log -v' haven't changed, so maybe that's all we need to care about. And the log line count is still accurate in the --diff case, if not altogether as useful. So if the community thinks this is a non-issue, that's fine -- I don't feel strongly enough about it to hang on it. -- C.
