Probably we should expand the above doc to avoid future confusion, e.g.,
"...SRC-FILE (to read from standard input, use "--" to stop option
processing followed by "-" to indicate standard input)."

The "svnmucc put db.sql file:///var/lib/svn/db/db.sql” worked.

The “— -“ also worked, I think this is a quirk of apr-util:

https://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/1.7/group__apr__getopt.html#ga80d6ff2213da4e25406b3f179fa13989

Ideally the return message of APR_BADARG needs to be updated to hint that a “—“ 
might be needed.

The documentation say:
[[[
  put SRC-FILE URL   : add or modify file URL with contents copied from
   SRC-FILE (use "-" to read from standard input)
]]]

So as far as I'm reading the documentation, the command you are using
should be supported. I would say this is a bug, either in the argument
handling or in the documentation.

Can you instead try:
$ svnmucc put db.sql file:///var/lib/svn/db/db.sql

I will bring this discussion to the d...@subversion.apache.org to figure out
if we need to change the documentation or if we can fix the code.

Kind regards,
Daniel

From reading the manual it looks perfect, but I’m having no luck:

[root@seawitch postgres]# cat db.sql | svnmucc put - 
file:///var/lib/svn/db/db.sql
svnmucc: invalid option: 
Type 'svnmucc --help' for usage.

Alas the error message mentions an invalid option, but doesn’t say which 
option, or why it is invalid.
