If we already print 'Added:', it IMO makes sense to print 'Deleted:' (and
the other guys) too. I could argue the other way, too (having these
lines (at all) duplicates the functionality of 'svnlook changed' and is
different from "svn diff"'s output for the same changes), but if we have
some of the tree-change headers I think we should have all of them.
