Moving a discussion from users@ to here. Original message below for reference.
TL;DR: According to documentation, svnmucc put - URL should add or modify file URL reading the new contents from standard input. It doesn't, instead it output an error message "svnmucc: invalid option:". I've tried to dig into subversion/svnmucc/svnmucc.c to figure out what is going wrong. The handling of "-" as stdin was added in r873014 (In the "put SRC_FILE URL" action read from stdin when SRC_FILE is "-") in 2008. I can't find anything significant having changed since it was added. I'm sending this off half-baked since I'm about to board a plane, in case anyone else would like to have a look.
