Why do commands fail when a file is unknown to svn?

In CVS, if I want to do a modified Makefiles only commit, I can always
do: cvs commit $( find . -name Makefile ) (The same works with diff and
other commands). CVS will ignore any file which is not under revision
control. I can't do this in SVN, so I can't find an easy way to continue
working the same way.

Is this intended for any reason? Could this be changed? Do I file a bug
report? =)

Thanks!
