btw the copy/paste were my previous --print patch which did not have the --print-format option. my new patch has %u %n %v, and adding %s and %r will be easy as well. one problem is that url and repo are only available for the -S operation. or maybe url could just be replaced by the filename for -U and -R. and repo by 'local'
