I wrote a similar script myself, although it makes assumptions about the 
meaning of /branches and /tags rather than using the dirs vs. files 
trick.

Rather than relying on screen scraping with curl, you might prefer to 
use "svn ls" instead, since it'll work with any svn-compatible 
repository type and (I presume) doesn't require special web server 
settings.

Good to know!  At least if you want to use svn more often ;-)

Thanks,
