This is because your shell expands the asterisk, not SubVersion. Suppose you
have a directory with three files "tata.txt", "tete.txt" and "toto.txt". If
you type "svn up t*" in your shell, the shell expands the asterisk and makes
the following call to the OS: "svn up tata.txt tete.txt toto.txt".

Now, if your directory doesn't contain any files starting with t, the shell
can't expand the asterisk and thus hands the string "t*" unchanged to the OS.
Obviously, there is no file called "t*" and thus SubVersion fails.
