Show us the exact commands you enter and the exact results you
receive; it's hard to speculate what's going on otherwise.
One possible reason changes you make to a file aren't seen by
Subversion and not transmitted to the repository is if whatever tool
you use to edit the file does not bump the file's modification date.
If this is the case, instruct the tool you use to edit the files not
to fudge the modification date like that. If you can't, then remember
to "touch" the file before trying to commit.
Telling Subversion to add a file that's already added shouldn't cause
anything to blow up; it should just print a message that the file is
already added.
