Right!

That's fine with me. The only reason that I am doing detective work
now is that there was no way to figure out stuff the same way since
the messages on import differed. The revisions were nowhere to be seen
too. Better to explicitly send them so there is no guesswork anymore.

OK, a space separated list instead of a comma separated one, no big
deal. But the A can be inferred from the revision, if the old rev is
NONE then the file has been added.
Branch tag on the end is fine too, in fact I have a parsing class that
would be simpler if I don't have to remember stuff across the files.

And one line per file maybe? Like shown above....
