That comma makes all the difference :)

Discussing 'svn info' output:

What do you think, for moved-here items, should we rename "Copied From URL"
and "Copied From Rev" to "Moved From *"? Leaving "Copied From *" as-is will
be confusing to the average user person...
#svn: "lol it says both copied and moved !?!1! Should be a tree conflict!1!"
Same discussion pending for --xml output.

We probably don't want to add a "Copied From Path" line: it's neither as
interesting nor as easy. A copy doesn't need to commit two paths in one, and
last time I checked we didn't store local paths for copied-from.

BTW, do we have any ambition to provide 'svn mv' using a URL source? :)
