Re: non-recursive-add isn't that useful? why is there no ".svn" folder in there? why can't I add more files?

Are you in a working directory? Do a "svn status" and see if you are
in a working directory. You can't do a "svn add" without being in a
working directory. What version of Subversion are you using?

I just ran a small test myself, and everything seems to work as expected:

$ svn co svn://localhost/test/trunk test_proj
Checked out revision 2.

$ cd test_proj/ #Clean project

$ ls #Nothing in project

$ mkdir foo #Add directory "foo", but not in Subversion

$ cd foo

$ ls

$ touch bar foobar barfoo #Create some files inside of directory "foo"

$ ls
bar barfoo foobar

$ cd .. #Back to root of working directory

$ ls
foo

$ svn status #Is Directory "foo" in the source repository?
? foo

$ svn add -N foo #Add Foo, but not files in foo
A foo

$ cd foo #Let's see what the files in "foo" look like

$ ls
bar barfoo foobar

$ svn status #Files are not in repository. Current directory is newly added
? bar
? barfoo
? foobar
A .

$ ls -a #There is a .svn directory in "foo"
. .. bar barfoo foobar .svn

$ svn add * #Add works
A bar
A barfoo
A foobar

$ cd ..

$ svn commit -m "ss" #Commit works fine.
Adding foo
Adding foo/bar
Adding foo/barfoo
Adding foo/foobar
Transmitting file data ...
