That's correct. You're obviously not *that* rusty :-)

Ahhhhh! Or, indeed, aaarrgggghhhhh! Yes, that would indeed cause the problem. 
I didn't realise this was possible. Having checked the Subversions FAQ, do I 
assume someone is accessing the repository via anonymous write acces to 
Apache?

Good news, and thank you for your persistence and getting to the bottom of 
this.

I'll redo the regular expression along the lines you outlined and send a patch 
to Urbancode.

(I know that in one sense I should be using the 'svn log' XML output here. But 
frankly, I don't want to haul in an XML parser when parsing the regular 
output via REs is so quick and easy).
