Hover the mouse over the letters (individually) to see what they mean  
in English.

Well, it's by design that the standard Subversion status letter codes  
are exposed. They pack a lot of information into a small space. An  
English translation of a Subversion status string could be, probably  
worst case, something like: File Copied, Properties Modified, Locked  
but Lock Stolen, Out of Date.

That said, it would be nice not to have to refer to the help to  
understand the more complicated strings, and I intend to some kind of  
human-readable status. I have some Subversion status string-to- 
English Objective-C code; I intend to transliterate this to Ruby at  
some point so we can use it here. (Meanwhile, go to the command line  
and type 'svn help status'. Or hover your mouse as instructed above.)
