It's been suggested that svn mkdir should have such an option. It's
probably not correct to do it by default, either for mkdir or add,
since if you mistype a name you should probably get an error. If you
have to specify an option to get the behaviour then it doesn't solve
the problem that 'svn add foo/bar foo' fails; I'm happy leaving add
as it is and saying the failure is due to user error.
