Do you regularly look at the output in a console? Without piping into a file and looking at that with an editor?
And if you're using subversion at the command line in windows, you don't know that the window could be bigger? Possible, of course, but not likely, I think. And I'd expect subversion just to write to STDOUT, so the argument about direct screen operations doesn't apply. Do you suggest cutting the output at 79 characters (or whatever the screen width is), if we detect that the output is a window (ie. STDOUT a tty)? Maybe not a bad idea, too. > We have all these values in memory during traversal so calculating it > shouldn't be a performance issue. Fine! Regards, Phil
