small feature request: when checkout/update print out svn:external addresses

Hi

not long ago we have made some reorganization in repository, but forgot to make svn:external relative instead of absolute
and I was really confused when build errors surprizingly appeared in an unchanged tags

so I think it would be useful to print out external addresses too
eg not just
"Fetching external item into '...'"
but
"Fetching external item from '...' into '...'"

it will allow to recognize such errors easily

I don't use the command line much but could you not plit it over three lines?
{{{
Fetching external item:
 from : '...'
 into : '...'
}}}

...or would that make scripted parsing too complex?

imho the log completeness is more important then pretty view
all the more so as most modern displays are widescreen
why the width is an issue?

To answer my own question: only print the absolute URL of an external
when the property specifies a relative external.

How would you avoid overflowing the terminal width when the external's
URL is absolute?
