Why "svn copy" and "svn move" can't accept more than one SRC?
The "add", "delete", "mkdir", "list" subcommands all can operate on many targets,
but "svn copy" and "svn move" don't act that way.
I searched svn.haxx.se and haven't found a good explanation, I known I
can use shell command to run these two commands repeatly, but I am still
curious about the reason for this CLI design.

If you want to execute multiple server-side operations in one
transaction, try rsvn.py:

For that you could use the Multiple URL Command Client:

I need this feature too, do these op in one transaction:
svn cp http://192.168.15.101/svn/nova/trunk/source/
http://192.168.15.101/svn/nova/tags/tag-A/source
svn cp http://192.168.15.101/svn/nova/trunk/docs/
http://192.168.15.101/svn/nova/tags/tag-A/docs
...

Yes, I think I agree (which is not the same as saying I volunteer,
however :-) ).
Thanks for digging up that thread & issue!
Best,

I find this thread:

"Note: this is a bit harder than it initially seems. If the target is a
URL, then we want to collapse everything into a single commit (e.g.
looping over svn_client_move() would create multiple commits)."
It seems a limitation of svn client API, svn_client_move()
and svn_client_copy() all call setup_copy() in libsvn_client\copy.c,
this function can accept only one src_path.
I think these APIs can be enhanced and won't bring too much complexity.

I searched the issue tracker and didn't find any history about this.
I haven't search the mailing list archives, you might want to try there.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any good reason for this CLI
design, and maybe we should change cp and mv to take >2 arguments. I
remember some discussion about this a few years ago, but I don't
remember the details of that discussion very well.
