The above is the preferred way forward, but if you hit roadblocks with
that, there _is_ a crude alternative:

% grep -a '^type:' /path/to/repository/db/revs/0/728

This will extract only one field from the rfc822-formatted node-rev
header. It's a poor substitute to the Perl script, but better than nothing.
