As this went unanswered, I am asking again: is there any other (better) ways of using the CLI for
such cases?

::: SUMMARY :::

want to do:
 Add to add all unversioned files and subdirs under versioned directory /foo/bar except those
mentioned in svn:ignore (for /foo/bar/ directory)

tried:
 svn add --force /foo/bar/*
problem:
 bails on added files, does not add unversion files in (versioned) /foo/bar/bas/

tried:
 svn add --force /foo/bar/*
problem:
 svn:ignore is _ignored_ on /foo/bar/

Kalin.
