svn 1.5 sparse checkout question

Hi,

Is this the appropriate venue for asking svn/1.5 questions? If not,
please let me know.

IAE, I'm testing svn/1.5beta2, since we need the sparse checkouts
feature. I do the following:

$ svn checkout --depth=empty svn+ssh://sierra-trac/svnroot/sierra/trunk .
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://sierra-trac/svnroot/sierra/trunk/framework
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://sierra-trac/svnroot/sierra/trunk/utility
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://sierra-trac/svnroot/sierra/trunk/aria
$ ...modify some files and properties...

However, when I do a 'svn status' and 'svn commit' it acts as if my
working copy is disjoint, and doesn't traverse into the three products I
checked out:

$ svn status
  M .
? utility
? aria
? framework

$ svn commit

--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

_M .

The second to last paragraph in the 'Sparse Directories' section of the
1.5 manual seems to imply that this should work. Am I doing something
wrong, or does this not work the way I expect?
