[TxMt] Growl instead of tool tips

Hi,

Is there any way to replace tool tip output with Growl[1] for the svn  
bundle?

Tool tips are the only "non-sticky" output, but they are so non- 
sticky that I sometimes cant read them at all. If the cursor is not  
at the right place (99% of the time as I use a tablet pen), this is a  
real nightmare.

I can't find a way to catch the output of the command, if I could I'd  
send it to Growl thru growlnotify (Shell) or Ruby-Growl.

So my questions are:
1) How can I catch the output of svn commands?
2) More generally, wouldn't it be nice to add Growl to the output  
options? What do you think Allan?

For those who don't know it:
Growl is a central notification system for Mac OS X.
It's free and released under BSD license.

What is nice is that you can configure how notifications will look,  
if they are sticky, etc. per applications. Applications can access it  
through Cocoa and Carbon API or Applescript, Ruby, Perl, Java, TCL,  
Python, Shell, etc.

Here are some scrennshots[2] and the huge list of apps using Growl[3]
