Lately, I've been thinking exactly the same thing. Of course, it's been my
love pouring into it, so I've had good reason to think it. :-)

Yeah, that's been fixed on trunk.

I used to be in favor of this, but now I'm not so sure. The idea of a shell
mode for 'svn' that seems most intuitive to me is simply an interactive way
to do all the other things that 'svn' can do today with multiple subcommand
invocations. But MUCC is strictly about doing a single particular task that
you *can't* do with a string of 'svn' subcommands today. A shell mode for
'svn' probably needs to be a little more full-featured, able to examine
working copies and repositories alike -- MUCC's use-case doesn't care about
working copies. Also, I need MUCC to maintain a non-interactive mode.
If all these things can be satisfied by introducing 'svn shell', that's cool
-- I don't think I'd fight it. But I guess I'm thinking "baby steps" here.
contrib/client-side/mucc.c --> subversion/svn-mucc/main.c is a
super-trivial change. And in anticipation of this move, I even recently
rewrote the mucc test script to sorta-kinda use our Python test framework.
If folks are cool with introducing svn-mucc, I'm volunteering for the task.
