The reason for the behaviour is the following:
If there is a deep directory structure which you want to add to the
repository calling "commit" on the top level and "selecting all" will not
recursively add all directories. If an unversioned directory is selected
then only this directory is added, i.e. the behaviour is not recursive.
Therefore all files and directories below this previously unversioned
directory will not be added the the repository.
It works as designed by subversion, but maybe we should show a warning when
committing an unversioned folder:
"Commiting an unversioned folder will not recursively add all files and
directories. If you want to add these too, then cancel this commit and add
them first. Continue?"
Using "add" solves the problem because this adds all files and directories
by default recursively.
This warning would only appear if the directory is "unversioned" and
contains files or directories. An "added" directory would not show the
warning.
