I see. I went ahead and removed the restriction to svn on $[12] expansion inside URL. Your case should work now.

On another note, I just implemented a --status option for GetComponents. It outputs a list of changes that would be made to individual files by running GetComponents, using the status commands for cvs, svn, etc. Hopefully it will help people remember commits they may need to make in other areas of the source tree. Please let me know if you have any comments or issues with it.
