I never got a reply to my email quoted below, so perhaps my little tool
is not interesting, but I did just discover your page for Subversion
utilities: subversion.tigris.org/links.html ; I like to think my tool
might be useful to other subversion users; could I get you to make a link
to it? I could put it on its own page if you would rather not link to my
homepage.
