Re: [FEAT. REQ] Aggregate working copy ?

The only reply that appeared on the "dev" list was mainly talking about the case of having working copies from different repositories. In your case I think you can just use an environment variable, like this:

AGGREGATE="engine sites Flash"

svn status $AGGREGATE
svn commit $AGGREGATE
etc.

There is also a feature just like your "--aggregate" suggestion, but called "--targets". It is available on some commands such as "svn commit", but not currently on other commands such as "svn status". I don't see any reason not to make "--targets" work on all commands that take targets.
