svn status format change

[jason <ja...@bioteam.net>]

Hi, All
I have a perl script parsing output from svn status. In the old version, 
the eighth column  "*" indicates whether the file is out dated or not.  
But it becomes 9th column in new version (1.6.2).
Is there a way I can decide whether it is new format or old format so I 
can take appropriate parsing action?

thanks
-jason

I have a python script, and probably for the same reason switched to
"svn status --xml" output. It was just a little investment to crank up the 
python minidom parser, and you get more readable, backward compatible and 
future proof code to access the various bits and pieces. I bet in perl too 
xml is easier then trying to make your script keep up with svn versions.
