In general, listing individual paths isn't a great idea, since it's a practice that can mess up merging, where the svn:mergeinfo property is changed on the root directory of a trunk or branch.

I always list paths when committing multiple ports, since I always have other uncommitted work.

I've sort of given up on Subversion merging for the MacPorts ports tree. I understood how merging worked in Subversion 1.4 and earlier, but when merge tracking was added in 1.5 it became confusing for me.

Merging (or just "svn copy"ing) used to be the only way to ensure that a file was only stored in the repository once, but now that Subversion has representation sharing, the space savings are automatic.

We should still use merging for MacPorts base, of course, when we want to backport a change from trunk to the release branch.
