svn log --verbose not machine parsable?

Hello,

I was writing a script that needed, as one of it's steps, to find all paths
affected by a given revision.

I figured "svn log --verbose" would be a good way to do it but I'm running
into problems.

Specifically, when the revision is created by a "svn cp" the log message is
no longer parse-able. Take for instance the following steps:

$svnadmin create /new
$svn co file:///new
$cd new
$touch "strange (from without closing filename"
$svn add "strange (from without closing filename"
$svn ci -m "Test Step 1: Created funny file name"
$svn cp "strange (from without closing filename" "new strange (from
filename"
$svn ci -m "Test Step 2: Did a copy to check log --verbose output"

Basically, I have created a file called "new strange (from filename" which
is a copy of another strangely named file. Now when I run svn log --verbose
on this file it gives an un-parseable output (only because this is a copy):

$svn log --verbose -r 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r2 | charles.lobo | 2009-02-12 19:08:28 +0530 (Thu, 12 Feb 2009) | 1 line
Changed paths:
  A /new strange (from filename (from /strange (from without closing
filename:1)

Test Step 2: Did a copy to check log --verbose output
------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the reasons we selected svn was because it was supposedly easy to
script. But this is throwing a spanner in the works.

Can anyone help?

cheers,

/BD
