Hmm... I've kinda started "svn up -p" and kinda did it, and "svn cat" is
twice as super easy from that. I've no problem if somebody else does it,
though. Kevin, are you interested in seeing my patch for "svn up -p"?

And, BTW, it really seems the thread has died. I'd prefer single
command for both "cat" and "ls" functionality, but only one person commented on
that.
