Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2016-03-01 09:39:45 CET 
When using for example -Ra to list everything in path, the output format isn't particularly suited for machine parsing.

> $ tl-config -Ra /
> key = value
> key = value
> folder/
>     folder/
>         key = value
>     key = value
>     folder/
>         key = value
>     key = value
> folder/
>     key = value

This example could be made better by an option to always print the entire key path rather than the "leaf" name. We should also take a look at the other output formats for hivetool and make sure they're usable from shell scripts.
