svnmucc: add comment marker ?
svnmucc can be used to read commands from files.
It would be handy to be able to add comments to files.
One could use a # marker as an indication that the rest of the line is
a comment (this cannot be confused with an existing action).
This should be simple to implement if it's thought to be useful.
Note: it seems svnmucc already ignores blank lines.

Sounds good to me.

Not necessary, see below.

No, the idea was that # should only be recognised when expecting an action.
So there would be no need to add work-rounds for files that begin with #.

No.

And if someone has a file called '#foo', they simply need to specify it
as './#foo'. (That does mean # would only be recognised on the first
column.)

Do you plan to allow comments between the verb ('mv', 'propset', etc)
and its arguments? e.g., would the following be valid? ---
mv
# comment
URL1
URL2
