I should mention the rationale for the last behavior. When you run
'svn merge', you're not really updating your working copy to a
particular revision; instead, you're applying diffs between two
arbitrary paths and revisions. So it makes no sense to mention that
you've updated to anything in particular.

Also, regarding Greg Hudson's idea about

   U foo
   U bar
   # Updated to revision 5

I'm not sure we really need a comment character or anything like
that. We're certainly not using one when we do a commit:

   Sending foo
   Sending bar
   Committed revision 5

If people are worried about scripts being able to parse svn's output,
then it's just a matter of writing decent regexps.

In fact, you'll notice I didn't have to change a *single* bit of our
python tests for this change! It turns out that this is because the
function which parses the trace-editor's output is using a pretty
restrictive regular expression:

  rm = re.compile ('^(..)\s+(.+)')

In other words, I don't think we have any real problem here.
