Minor annoyance in svn add

$ mkdir -p foo/bar
$ svn add foo/bar foo
svn: No such file or directory
svn: svn_io_file_open: can't open `foo/.svn/lock'

The order of arguments to svn add is important.
This is a minor annoyance, but I can harm programs
that generate and perform svn commands automatically,
and sometimes svn add -R is not an option.

The obvious kludgy hack to solve this partially
is to sort the targets to svn add by length. (I propose
this hack, but I don't like it.)
