A summary "suitable for easy processing by other utilities".  I still 
don't think reducing a four-case case statement in your shell script to 
a single line justifies fixing the line length of CVS output until the 
end of time.  I'd like to see CVS using gettext or the like for multiple 
language support someday and getting fixed line length to translate into 
several languages would be a bear.
