Bug report: wild-cards in command-line

This affects the command line "svn" tools.

The svn update and svn propset commands do not accept wild-cards. Other Subversion command line clients I have tried (Collabnet, SlikSvn, and Linux svn) all do accept them.

Example:

Try to set the end-of-line property on all files in a directory:

   svn propset svn:eol-style native *

Fails with:

   '*' is not under version controlsvn: E155010: The node 'somepathendingwith\*' was not found.

Similarly, try to update many working copies in a common folder:

   svn up *

Fails with:

   Skipped '*'
   Summary of conflicts:
     Skipped paths: 1

Other command-line clients each treat the wild-card as if a list of all matches had been specified. This one is treating it like a literal filename.

I do not know whether other subcommands also act this way. These are the two that I often use wild-cards with.
