Yes, I have been reading about the JSON work, but I prefer not to go that r=
oute.
Personally, I want to automate only the steps I use for my projects.
Check in/Check out, Merge, Compare, Commit, Inspect Leaves, etc.
I have no desire to make a grandiose do everything GUI and I tire of
using/remembering many cmd.exe scripts and their terse nature.
That said, I would appreciate some sort of delimited textual output
from fossil.exe if no C dll exists or is contemplated.
This is not me knocking a very fine product, only wishing. :)
Maybe a '-csv' option to drop the "verbose" formatting and instead
dump the command issued and the fields separated by comma or some such
character.

Like why does 'EDITED' not have a trailing ':' ?
Can the documentation explain the expected outputs?

Thanks for fossil!
