we already found out (see previous mailings) that 'svn ls' isn't the
right command to use at all, because it doesn't even use
the stuff from the WC.
so grep/cut/filter on the output of
  "svn status -v"
is the only solution here ( since without -v it doesn't list all files ).

but I didn't yet find the a -correct- method to split up the
parts of the output from svn status -v !!!

look at the following:

>>
Work>svn status -v
                0 ? ? .
                1 1 Firstname Lastname fileB.txt
                1 1 Firstname Lastname dirC
                1 1 Firstname Lastname dirC\fileD.txt
                1 1 Firstname Lastname dirC\fileE.txt
                1 1 Firstname Lastname fileA.txt
                2 2 cat foo hallo.txt
                1 1 cat fileX.txt
<<

i think its simply impossible with the current output format to distinguish
spaces in usernames from spaces in filenames :-(
if scripts rely on the output format of svn status -v they will fail.

so,.. should I file an issue on that case?

( svn takes the name from the current windows-user-login
and so there are probably some accounts with long names
-and- spaces in it already )
