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.

Have fun,
