Oops, sorry, we should fix the help string for 'svn commit'. I'll do
that.

'svn commit' can work on multiple targets, but those targets must be
within the *same* working copy. For now, that's the only way we can
guarantee that the commit is atomic.

In theory, your use-case might be able to work someday too; after all,
your two working copies are from the same repository, and therefore
the commit could still be atomic. But we don't support that case yet.

The error you're seeing is probably svn attempting to create a tmpfile
in the common parent of the two commit targets, but that common parent
has no .svn/ area!
