Re: svn log lines (was Re: How does log translate to diff)

Probably it will be useful to wait for more feedback, but do you see
anything wrong with the points that:

1) having the "X lines" in the log output is confusing for ex-CVS users
due to the mis-parallel with CVS logs

2) it would be nice to have the "+/- lines" added to 'svn log -v'

If not, should I submit enhancement requests on the bugzilla? I can
understand that adding (2) might be hard if that info is not readily
available within subversion, but addressing (1) by putting the lines in
only under an option to svn log that parsers can use seems easy...

best,
Adrian
