Sorry, I'm denying this patch. The status codes using the 'svn log
-v' output are not guaranteed to be the same codes used by 'svn
status', so adding the cross-reference you added is improper.
Unfortunately, I don't think our reference chapter describes the
character codes used by 'svn log' at all, there *is* no good place to
cross-reference. But that could be a really useful thing for you to
put into the next iteration of this patch, right? :-)
