I think it's hard to make claims about what scripts (or people) need
from "svn ls", when we don't have any concrete examples yet. Maybe
this is why it's so easy to disagree on how the feature should look.
But, in the case of a script, since the entry starts in a consistent
column, isn't that enough?
