Makes sense to me. Should we document this some way in svn help? Currently:
[[[
$ svn help add
[...]
Valid options:
  --targets ARG            : pass contents of file ARG as additional args
 [...]
]]]

We could update the svnbook as well, it currently says:
[[[
--targets *FILENAME*

Tells Subversion to read additional target paths for the operation from
*FILENAME*. *FILENAME* should contain one path per line, with each path
expected to use the same encoding and formatting that it would if you had
specified it directly as an argument on the command line.
]]]

Cheers,
Daniel
