Turns out that --revision 0 no longer works. [1] However it should be possible to do the following: Get the revision of the parent directory Check that the target file does not exist yet Use svnmucc to put the file using the revision obtained above.
If the target file is created in the meantime, svnmucc put will fail because the target repo revision will no longer agree. Not as nice as using --revision 0. I agree it would be useful to have a method to do it. I'll get working on it.
