$ svn ps x -F -

svn: Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: svn_string_from_file: reading from stdin is currently broken, so disabled

From svn_string_from_file
  /* If user passed '-', use stdin. We could use apr_file_open_stdin here, and
   * in fact, it does work. Problem is that if the same command invokes the
   * editor, stdin is crap, and the editor acts funny (if not die outright). I
   * wanted to just disallow stdin reading and invoking the editor, but there's
   * no easy callback for that right now. */
