>svn add . --force
ok, thanks. that works, although it's a bit odd. i now see that command in the
docs under svn add, but i didn't see the shell filename-expansion override
phenomenon explained under svn:ignore. for consistency's sake, i think it may
not be a bad idea to allow:
>svn add
without an arg, which would then work similarly as
>svn status
(and both currently work the same with a *), but as you point out, i can add
the --force flag. it's just not as intuitive; personally i'd prefer having to
specify --no-ignore explicitly rather than what amounts to an implicit
overriding.
thanks again,
