subversion: batching up create-directory changes into a single commit

I want to do 

svn mkdir http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/trunk
svn mkdir http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/branches
svn mkdir http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/tags
svn propset someprop someval http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX
svn propset anotherprop anotherval http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX

in a single commit. Is there a way to batch up svn operations on the repository server? I could swear I've seen a way to do this before, but I can't remember the magic words to use or to google.

  1. you can create multiple directories in a single commit:

    svn mkdir -m "a single commit" /path/to/folder_1 /path/to/folder_2

    However, you cannot propset directories in the same commit :-(

  2. You can also use svnmucc to combine repository actions in a single commit, however also here you cannot propset directories which are not already inside the repository.

So you can minimize the number of commits to 2 (I left out the -m switch for the log message):

svn mkdir http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/trunk http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/branches http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX/tags
svnmucc propset someprop someval http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX propset anotherprop anotherval http://svn.mydomain.com/.../projectX

If you still want a single commit, you have to check out a working copy and do all manipulations and commit afterwards

You could always svn checkout the projectX directory, mkdir trunk/branches/tags locally then svn add them (or just use svn mkdir locally rather than on the URL, which does the same thing), set the properties and then issue a single svn commit.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but if you were to check out your root directory to a working copy, then executed svn mkdir trunk, svn mkdir branches, svn mkdir tags, and then did your svn commit then those directory creations would be batched.
