I'm concerned encouraging this can cause confusion on the command-line
for bash users.

In bash, "b_one/{first}" will be passed as-is (and hardly anybody
will have a repo with '{word}' in the path)

However, unless quoted on the command-line, a likely case of:
"b_one/{first,second}" will expand to: "b_one/first" "b_one/second"

...which causes "b_one/second" to be interpreted as the destination
directory.   A knowledgeable bash user can avoid this by using:
-b=b_one/{first,second} to avoid this situation.

But with the above invocation, no explicit support is needed
for command-line parsing in git-svn.
