"svn import -m filename" gives no warning

"svn commit -m filename" warns that the user probably meant "-F" instead of "-m".  "svn import" uses log message arguments in the same way but does not give the warning.  Guess which one I used first.  This behaviour is inconsistent and therefore wrong :-)  This probably applies to other commands as well.

Transcript:
