The problem is that you can’t quote…
So while from python you can pass ‘*’ as an argument on unix, you can’t do this
on Windows…
For a tool like ‘svnmucc’ which doesn’t have any ‘*’ handling of its own this
makes the tool work less like on *nix, not work more like on Unix.
I’m quite surprised that the responses in this thread are all from the common
unix developers on this list; not the Windows developers, while Cygwin (which
is how many unix devs work on Windows) explicitly doesn’t apply this behavior
to the ‘svn’ they provide.

I disagree. It's more important that the tools behave similarly across
different platforms. Making some tools behave differently for others to save
people some argument quoting woes is just silly.
+1. Uniformity across platforms was a major design goal from the project's
beginning.
