No, I don't think it can.
I'd love to see the svnmucc functionality subsumed into the 'svn'
client. Note that there's been talk of writing a "shell" mode for
'svn'. It would achieve svnmucc's multi-operation feature something
like this:
svn shell
> open http://my.repos.com/trunk/
> mv README README.txt
> rm README.MSDOS
> mkdir build
> [...]

...where "commit" means the same thing it does in a db client :-).
(You could imagine other commands to cat in or out of a file, too.)
By the way, are you this Markus Kuhn?

Yay, if so :-).
