svn usage text

For your (possible) amusement, attached is the
option definition file that can be used to generate
a program that produces this usage text (and processes
the options, too). It also might make the AutoOpts
pages more comprehensible?

svn - Subversion - Ver. Fri Oct 13 18:31:37 PDT 2000
USAGE: svn [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... \
                <command> [ <cmd-specific-opts> ... ] [ <cmd-args> ]
  Flg Arg Option-Name Description
   -x YES xml-file XML Interfacing file
   -d YES target-dir destination directory
   -s YES ancestor-path source directory
   -r YES revision Specified revision
   -f no force force action to be taken
   -v opt version Output version information and exit
   -? no help Display usage information and exit
   -! no more-help Extended usage information passed thru pager

Options may be specified by doubled hyphens and their name
or by a single hyphen and the flag character/option value.

WHERE: ``<command>'' may be any of:

         checkout update add delete commit

or their aliases. For specific help on one of these commands,
use ``--help'' as a command specific option.
