Thanks, I try ;)

Not sure either but I didn't get much back (other than your comments) on
the user list so I figured I'd throw southing out to be picked at.

Agreed. I like your pipe suggestion but I still wonder if someone's going
to do something silly and find a way to stick ine in a filename sometime.
I don't like the tic approach as it'd require a more complex regex to
match and extract. I could do it but could most others?

Would it be too much to expect people to interpret something with multiple
lines? Something like so:

  C ./tags/project1/1.0/
    from r1 of /trunk/

This way, the fuzzy portions are after a well defined prefix. Still, it'd
make parsing even harder in a simple shell scripts. Hmmm...

Seems like a judgement call from the big-picture guys is needed.

PS: should the leading slash in the copyfrom_name be removed in this output?
