There's potentially endless ways of achieving this. If you want a one-liner:

Code:
uniq -c input | awk '$1>1 { N=$1; $1=""; while(N--) print }'

It uses 'uniq -c' to produce lines like "2 10" and "1 20". Then awk filters out all the ones with no repeats by $1>1. Then it gets rid of the first number with $1="", and does a loop printing the entire rest of the line as many times as the given count.
