Colorize command output

[Ralph Pöllath <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

To make conflicts stand out, I'd like to colorize the output of the svn 
command so that lines starting with C are displayed in red. My first 
shot at this was

% svn status | sed -e 's/^C/\e[31mC\e[0m/g'

but the escapes aren't interpreted. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
-Ralph.
