Dear all,
could someone give me a piece of advice? I have lots of directories. I'd
like to mark them and then operate a command on each marked directory
separately.
Typical usage:
dired
mark dirs using 'm'
-do- svn rm command on each of the selected directories
how I could handle this?
thanks
d.

See the code in dired.el and dired-aux.el defining commands that do this.
See function `dired-get-marked-files' and perhaps macros `dired-map-over-marks'
and `dired-map-over-marks-check'. See how they are used to define such
commands. See command `dired-do-delete' as an example.
You can also see lots of examples defining such commands in dired+.el:

Have a look at `dired-do-shell-command' in dired-aux.el:
dired-do-shell-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`dired-aux.el'.
(dired-do-shell-command COMMAND &optional ARG FILE-LIST)
Run a shell command COMMAND on the marked files.
If no files are marked or a specific numeric prefix arg is given,
the next ARG files are used. Just M-x universal-argument means the current file.
The prompt mentions the file(s) or the marker, as appropriate.
If there is a `*' in COMMAND, surrounded by whitespace, this runs
COMMAND just once with the entire file list substituted there.
If there is no `*', but there is a `?' in COMMAND, surrounded by
whitespace, this runs COMMAND on each file individually with the
file name substituted for `?'.
Otherwise, this runs COMMAND on each file individually with the
file name added at the end of COMMAND (separated by a space).
You may need to add a (require 'dired-aux) to you .emacs file to have
it available. It's usuable mapped to '!'.
Cheers,
