I'm misunderstanding, probably because I can't reproduce the behavior
you're talking about. Look at my transcript:
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ svn cl lalala cvs2cl.pl
Path 'cvs2cl.pl' is now a member of changelist 'lalala'.
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ svn cl lalala newfile
Path 'newfile' is now a member of changelist 'lalala'.
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ echo "moo" >> newfile
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ echo "blah" >> cvs2cl.pl
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ svn st
--- Changelist 'lalala':
M cvs2cl.pl
M newfile
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ svn ci newfile -m aoeu
Sending newfile
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 17.
[sussman@BenBook:~/scratch/wc]$ svn st
--- Changelist 'lalala':
M cvs2cl.pl
Notice that I forgot to specify --changelist to 'svn commit'.
According to your email, you're saying that my committed file still
belongs to a changelist. But that's not the case -- any committed
targets lose their changelist membership, whether you specify
--changelist to 'svn commit' or not.
