Description:My root message as it was meant to be sent without the posting software combining multiple lines into one.

     1  I would like timeline to produce output that is machine friendly to scripts
     2  that process it. 
     3  
     4  I am trying to automate the building process of my software and
     5  I would like to use tags of the form: RELEASE-1.6.10 which can be
     6  embedded in the program so that users get a nice human-friendly version 
     7  number.
     8  
     9  Timeline has the feature of showing all checkins that descend from current.
    10  The intention is to feed this into a script which cna detect if a RELEASE
    11  has already been used.
    12  
    13  The problem is that timeline sometimes splits a tag onto two lines.
    14  
    15  Here's an example:
    16  
    17  === 2011-04-10 ===
    18  20:44:26 [59a3f097fb] junk (user: davidevans tags: tiger-branch, RELEASE-
    19           1.6.10, jjjj)
    20  
    21  This makes life very difficult for script writers.
    22  
    23  Could we please have an option of timeline that produces machine-readable
    24  text ?
