I've been meaning to ask this, but _why_ does it want the output to
be consistent with that of `svn update'? I think it's rather
unintuitive. If the log message is

------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 2701: cmpilato | 2002-07-25 04:06:31 +0200 (Thu, 25 Jul 2002) | 3
lines
Changed paths:
   U /trunk/tools/cgi/tweak-log.cgi

* tools/cgi/tweak-log.cgi
  (doFetchLog): html-escape the current log that inits the textarea.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

then this to me looks like you fixed the HTML escaping by updating
tweak-log.cgi. But this is of course not the case. You fixed it by
_modifying_ that file. An update doesn't contribute any new
information to the repository, and thus can't fix anything there.

Why not just let the output be consistent with that of `svn status' at
the committers end just before the commit instead? That seems more
logical, since the log is talking about commits and not updates.
