This sounds a bit like Issue 2727:

There is a tool call mucc (or have we renamed it to svnmucc?), which
allows you to string multiple client operations together into one
commit:
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svnmucc/ You
can build it from a standard subversion tarball, IIRC.
Additionally, Subversion 1.5 will allow multiple copy and move
operations in one client operation, e.g. svn cp *.c dir
Hope this helps,
