grep works fine, but you can use --no-colour to disable the colouring
if you prefer (seems to be undocumented, I will fix that). Otherwise,
please elaborate.

It's *one* program that is pulling it into the tree. It is any
arbitrary parent, chosen essentially randomly (to be precise, it's
whichever n-parent of the dependency has the lowest Python string hash
value modulo some number greater than the number of updateable
programs on your system - i.e. whichever one comes first in the
iteration of a set). It isn't necessarily a direct parent, just
something that is causing the new dependency to be pulled in.

It is already sorted.

SVN Freshen is much faster, around 90% (!), due to some
CheckDependencies fixes I made. You also need SVN Scripts, which are
pretty stable right now. Freshen -C now runs me about thirty seconds
with 250 updates. You might like to try that, it is much more pleasant
to use.
