Subversion Dev team: Thanks for all your hard work. I just began using subversion and it is great.
Among other things, it is fast. One complaint. I'm using a Linux system, fyi. As a new user it was my expectation that 'svn add *' called from within the root of my version-controlled root directory would result in *all* changes that had been made within the file system to be scheduled for inclusion on the next commit. Instead, it ignored a whole raft of new files that were buried in subdirectories. It took me a while of poking around to find this out. The behavior I expected was that "svn add *" would schedule a snapshot of the entire directory tree. Of course, to actually make this happen, I had to use the "svn add * --force" option. It's also worth noting that the option "svn add * --depth infinity" also did not add the files that were buried in the subdirectores; they were not added to be included on the next commit. Why would you have subversion skip a bunch of files? That makes no sense. The "import" command conversely, adds all the files in all the subdirectories, when a new directory is first brought under version control. It seems to me, the default behavior should be the obvious behavior. Or maybe there is more that I don't yet understand. If so, I would like to hear. Thanks. It is great software.
