btw the copy/paste were my previous --print patch which did not have
the --print-format option.
my new patch has %u %n %v, and adding %s and %r will be easy as well.
one problem is that url and repo are only available for the -S operation.

or maybe url could just be replaced by the filename for -U and -R.
and repo by 'local'
