I'd be happy to preserve the distinction, but not like that. I suggest a more orthogonal output: Switched to $URL. At revision 4. Switched to $URL. Updated to revision 4. Already at $URL. At revision 4. Already at $URL. Updated to revision 4. I don't know how important backward compatibility is, but that preserves a final backward-compatible line, as well as being clear and unambiguous. (If we think one-line output is more important than this kind of backward compatibility, simply concatenate the two messages on one line.) - Julian
