Problem with "svn add" command

From: Itamar O <itamarost_at_gmail.com>

I might be doing something wrong here,
but I have an unversioned file named "- example.txt" (don't ask why..),
and when I 'svn add "- example.txt"' I get:
  svn: invalid option character:
  Type 'svn help' for usage.

Seems that the add command thinks the initial "-" is an option prefix...
This also occurs without the whitespace between "-" and "example.txt"
(then I get "svn: invalid option character: e").

Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks,
Itamar O.
