I do apologise, maybe I'm confusing svn and cvs :-)

However, my test did bail out because it found an unversioned  
directory, so * is not the same as the empty file list, which is  
logical since it is expanded before svn sees the arguments..

jeremyp@miranda:mp6502 $svn status
X      defs
M      make-docs.sh

Performing status on external item at 'defs'
jeremyp@miranda:mp6502 $svn ci * -m "Testing order of arguments"
svn: '/Users/jeremyp/dev/mp6502/build' is not a working copy
jeremyp@miranda:mp6502 $svn ci -m "Testing order of arguments"
Sending        make-docs.sh
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 584.

(The directory "build" is in the svn:ignore prop for the current  
directory which is why it didn't show up in the svn status)
