Bug#207635: Script is flawed - recommend wontfix/closing

The script has the fairly serious flaw that on any repository of large
activity, there will be many revisions in which a particular file
undergoes no changes. Thus, very many diff calls will be made, which
discover no difference.

The script could be improved to an acceptable level of efficiency by
making use of the output of 'svn log'.

If an improved version of the script is made, it would be best to submit
it upstream - it is the right kind of thing for the contrib/ directory.

However, I don't think the current version in this bug report is
appropriate, and suggest that this bug be wontfixed/closed.

Max.
