Description

My problem scenario:
I have an automated process that change some files and it adds those filenames
to a file, changed_files.tmp. Then i use svn commit -m "msg" --targets
changed_files.tmp (because other modifications not done by automated process
should not be committed). Problem: if no files were changed, changed_files.tmp
will be empty and all changed files are committed (implicit add of "." if no
targets specified). This is scary.

Attached patch adds a new option to svn commit: --no-implicit-target. When
specified, "." is not added if no other targets specified.
