Isn't this a bit hard to grok for new or casual users? Figuring out what
these numbers mean does imply sleeping with the SVN manual under you pillow
at night. Maybe something easier would be appropriate, unless somebody
adds --verbose. *Then* the user knows, he will be getting lots of info.
Anoter interesting thing might be optionally genereating stuff in a form
that can easily be parsed. (CSV with fixed width fields, XML or whatever
...)
