I believe the reason was to "display names in human readable format",

We already have svn info URL --show-item, the only thing missing in order to
display user-friendly names (only) is --show-item=path.
This doesn't help when a path relative to some directory in the repository
(such as ^/trunk) is needed. The Path item seems to always show the last
component of the provided URL. Any intermediate directories are lost.
Yes. But everything else are URLs; for 'svn info URL', Path is the only
thing that's returned in a user-friendly format. One could argue that it
should be called Name, not Path, and that Path should be the whole
user-friendly relative path from the root; but it is what it is now. At
least you can get the relative URL, too.
I agree it's not ideal. *shrug*. I'd rather look at proposals to expand
'svn info (--show-item)' than to break the 'svn diff --summarize' output
format.
