Gary, Thank you very much for the example and steps. These will be very
helpful when I'm recreating the log viewer in Swing.

Indeed, if it worked in Jython that would be great as it's pretty easy to
get the Jython interpreter included in any Java application - I've done this
before on another project. However, I'm afraid going down that route would
open a whole other can of worms, and would require getting a lot more stuff
working in Jython. I agree, for now my easiest bet is to parse the log
output.

:) Yes, xmloutput is a requirement in my implementation.

If anyone is interested, I have what little there is it in launchpad.:
lp:~elberry/+junk/gvcs-cli

My goal for now is to mimic the same actions that qbzr has created gui's for
except for diffing, which I will delegate to something else.

Thanks,
Eric
