now that i see your post, i recall there is something i never dared
to ask. i wonder if it would be a good idea to provide the svn status
command with an option (or a set of options) that allow searching
or modified files, conflicted files, added files, etc, in order to ease
scripting. something that would be equivalent to type commands like:

svn status | awk '/^M/ { print $2 }'

this would not work for files whose properties have been modified
(awk '^ M'), etc. i did something like that for a script that helps
the user to solve conflicts, that starts in that case with

FITXERS=`svn status | grep "^C" | cut -c 8-`

and performs moreless the same way as svn update for
version 1.5 when there are conflicts. this scripts is for
an old machine that uses solaris 8 and launches filemerge
(kdiff3 is not easily installable). i tried to find the spec on the
roadmap for svn 1.5.0 but i failed, don't know if it has been
moved).

doing this kind of scripts / hacks is always tricky and tedious.
don't you think it would be useful to have these set of options
for svn status?
