Ah, thanks, this one worked.

Commandline help of mucc 1.4.6 said pipe characters ... Having
peeked into CL help of svnmucc as shipped with svn 1.5.1 I see it
has grown considerably and the pipe chars are gone, yet usage
seems even a bit more cryptic to me. I would suggest to change
the usage line to the following:

Usage: svnmucc [OPTION] ... [ACTION1] [ACTION2] ... [ACTIONn]

Still does not say much about what svnmucc does or is intended
for, but probably gives a better idea of how to use it. Even better
would be some examples - or even a decent documentation in the
book. ;)
