Just to be clear, then: out of the box, svn will commit pretty much any and all changes I make to a directory, including adding files. It's only if I twiddle with it that I really need to use svn add so that I can make sure that svn only grabs the files I want it to during commit, right?
Ok, this is one of those mildly annoying things about subversion.
<tt>svn add foo/</tt>
will add: <tt>foo/bar.txt</tt> <tt>foo/bar.txt~</tt> <tt>foo/code.c</tt> <tt>foo/code.o</tt>
However, you must explicitly add new files into the directory.
<tt>touch foo/baz.txt</tt>
Won't add baz.txt to the directory. You need to explicitly do:
<tt>svn add foo/baz.txt;svn commit</tt>
to add it.
Generally, this is a good thing because you don't want generated files to be added to the repository when you do a commit.
So to summarize, when you <tt>svn add</tt> a directory, you add everything in the directory. When you <tt>svn commit</tt> a directory, you only commit the files that had been previously added.
