In general, I would oppose this (when possible, things should be fully
correct). But since we also have svn log --xml, there's another perfectly
good way to get the data with unambiguous delimiters/quoting. I think that
removes most of the onus on 'ordinary' svn log to be machine-parseable.
But, I also don't see a whole lot of harm done by saying "4 lines". So I
guess this is an abstention after all :-)
