Multi-line comments break the history parser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check a file into clearcase with a multi-line comment.
2. run cc2svn.py
3. An exception is thrown during history parsing saying "Wrong history 
line: <comment data>"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
* History is correctly parsed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

* SVN revision 4

Please provide any additional information below.

* The code appears to attempt this fix by storing unrecognised lines for 
later.  An easier solution may be to make the history contain an obvious 
marker pattern at the start of each line and split on that, rather than 
newline.  I.e. change HISTORY_FORMAT to begin with something 
like "___HISTORY___" and then have rlines() split on "___HISTORY___" 
rather than newline.

I have a patch for this, too, if you're interested
