question in using svn_load_dirs.pl script

[ying lcs <yi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to use svn_load_dirs.pl script that comes with subversion,

But I get the following question 'Enter two indexes for each column to
rename, (R)elist, or (F)inish: ', can you please tell me what does
that mean and what should i do?

  20 video/extras/contrib/src/Patches/flac-cross.patch_________________
  21 video/extras/contrib/src/Patches/flac-mingw32.patch_______________
Continue printing (Y/n)? n
Enter two indexes for each column to rename, (R)elist, or (F)inish:

Thank you.

Curiously the read-me doesn't explain this aspect of the script.

svn_load_dirs/svn_load_dirs.README

Thankfully, the book does.
