On one occasion I wanted to use it with 'svn add' (but for 'svn add' I think
it's closer to being syntactic sugar than with other commands). I see how
it would make sense for 'svn merge', too, since that too can add files.
BTW: dannas commented on IRC that the behaviour of 'svn patch --add-to-cl'
should be defined with respect to patches that don't apply successfully.
(so I don't plan to apply the patch without at least thinking a bit more
about that)
