Okay, I can see this as being interesting from a theoretical point of
view. Now, what's the use-case? That is, why is it important that
she know which lines of code she changed were the same lines of code
that someone else changed in the same way? Had she run 'svn up'
before starting her change, she wouldn't have changed those lines at
all.
