I like the feature much (who - except perhaps the core developers
themselves - hasn't wonders one time or another what a particular
ouput meant), but not as part of command line client itself.
How about a script that takes the output of the client and produces
what you have written above. So that I can call it like this:
$ svn status -v | svn-human-readable
and get the output you cite (and no, I don't suggest to keep
svn-human-readable as name).

And may I suggest another thing? The educational part. The output as
suggested is a bit sparse on clues which part of the usual svn status
translated into which human-readable part. E.g. which part telle me
that the properties haven't been modified? Something like
$ svn st -v ROADMAP | svn-human-readable
M 43 41 hernan ROADMAP
ROADMAP:
" " File not modified
"M" Properties haven't been modified
"43" Revision number
"41" Last commited version
hernan Commit author
This output is a bit crappy, but I hope you get the idea.
Regards,
Benjamin.
