Happy to oblige. Note that in the non-xml output, build.conf is the
second line, but in the xml output, it is the fifth line. This
becomes an issue for my specific project when updating directories: I
can't add files to a directory that hasn't been created yet, so the
A /trunk/my_directory has to come before A /trunk/my_directory/
some_file.txt and that does not always seem to be the case (unless
I'm missing something or just not paying attention).

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.

Sincerely,

Ted S-R
