I get the same results as you.

However, note this one change in your script and my results for it:

At this point, if I "svn commit --non-recursive -mwhatever
dirA/fileB", then I get the one commit we're expecting, and the
resulting state is what we want:

In other words, committing the added file works, but committing the
modified directory does not.

It seems to me that "svn add dirA/fileB" constitutes a change both to
dirA and to dirA/fileB. From what you say, I think you feel the
same. But in general the SVN UI seems to disagree with us, treating
the add solely as an operation on the added object. I don't know
whether this is an actual bug or simply an incomplete projection of
the actual model (just 'cause I don't like it doesn't mean it's
wrong. I guess. ;-) But now that you draw my attention to the
matter, I think SVN is thoroughly consistent about this, for whatever
that's worth. For example, if you add a file and then "svn status,"
you don't see a line of status for the directory, only the line for
the file itself.

In contrast, note this:

That is, a propset on the directory is versioned as if it were the
directory itself that was changed, and this --non-recursive works
(still haven't committed my change to dirA/dirB/fileA).
