Today svn-of-ports has about 600 (tc,mc) /200 (r) = 800 responses
required (tree and etc conflicts)

(mc) prepare for updating moved-away children, if any (recommended),
(p) postone, (q) quit resolution, (h) help:
[ I need expect to return mc, and a RET ] IF expect works upon svn
responses

Select:
(p) (df) (e) (m)
(mc) (tc)
(s)
[ I need expect to return tc , and a RET] Sorry for the omitted svn
context

Select:
(r) (p) (q) (h) [ sorry for the omitted svn
context]
[I need expect to return r , and a RET ]

Writing this request about 100/800 done for today, so cannot help this
time, not
urgent -- better yet if it was integrated into svn as a feature...
Seems that, once-a-year or so, it is way too time consuming all of a
sudden, and sometimes
exceedingly inconvenient -- so it would be nice to have a backup plan.
I will provide context in a followup, after a few days, if that is necc.
for some expert or
semi-expert in expect to craft a script.
Thanks in advance, or any other ideas appreciated. Not wanting to waste
anyone's time.
