I have done that but I think the script will still generate bad output if the 'curl' commands fail; see TODO below.

Added '-q'etc.

I also made it:
  * not commit if the only change is in the the "# Generated ... <date>" line.
  * search only in the "publish" subtree, so it doesn't pick up the example in its own script

New version:

# Update our Haxx-URL-to-Message-Id map (a manual cron entry, for now)
0 4 * * * fn=publish/.message-ids.tsv; cd ~/src/svn/site && svn up -q && tools/haxx-url-to-message-id.sh publish > $fn.tmp && if diff -q -I'^# Generated' $fn $fn.tmp > /dev/null; then rm $fn.tmp; else mv $fn.tmp $fn && svn ci -q -m "* $fn: Automatically regenerated" $fn; fi

TODO:
  * only add new entries (actually it happens to work this way already, because it finds its own previous output file as part of the scan);
  * only query 'haxx.se' for new entries, not all the existing entries again each time;
  * the 'curl | perl' part of the script wants a way to fail if the 'curl' fails (Bash has 'set -o pipefail' for this).
