RE: [proposal] --targets command line option

Couldn't you simply use

svn status --list new | xargs svn add

Subject: [proposal] --targets command line option

I'm going to implement an option called --targets, which basically is a
way to supply a list of files for a command from a file (or stdin using
- as the value for --targets/-t). The main uses are to send a list of
files for "add", "delete" and "commit".

One extra addition I'd like to add is an option to "status" to limit
output to "missing" or "added" files/dirs, without the prefix we
normally get. The idea is to be able to do:

svn status --list new | svn add --targets -
svn status --list removed | svn delete --targets -

Perforce users will recognize this command set very well :)

I'm not sure of how the --list option should look. Should it use
--list-new and --list-deleted, or the example I've shown above.

Any comments, suggestions or other features inline with this are
welcome.
