Yes, or future versions that might change the facilities again, like
re-instating XML.

It was actually used by trac+darcs, and I was prompted to send the patch
when Lele tripped over it.  For Emacs VC mode I found it better to deal

for the first time when XML was an option for tool output...), but it's
all a bit fragile.
