OK, that worked. Thanks!

FWIW, I'm pretty sure that was cargo-culted from a script you had
written (the mailing list subscription tool, to be specific), and the
comment that line had was as follows:

# add file to svn (--revision 0 means it won't overwrite an existing file)

Which leads to a question: what will svnmucc do if the file already exists?
