Bug #40983[0] is a feature request for SVN --targets-like reading of
command line arguments from a file. This is to get around problems
with the maximum numbers of arguments in shells.
Two ways of doing this occur to me:
1) In each command that requires it, add specific functionality
(presumably with all of them using a helper function to do the heavy
lifting).
2) Make this a global option and treat each line as a separate
command-line argument, meaning it can be passed to any command.
(1) seems to make more sense than (2) to me, but I thought I'd get some
feedback so I don't spend some time this weekend working on a patch
only for it to be suggested that I should do it the opposite way.
