> Now I have even more files that subversion missed. I did not issue any add commands. Do I have to manually add files? I thought subversion was supposed to handle this. This is a change to my working copy that did not get incorporated into the repository. At one time it was adding files I did not want added. Now its ignoring files I want to add. Very confusing tool indeed.

Yes, you must "svn add" any files you want Subversion to add to the repository. It's not meant to be confusing... I found the book exceptionally clear and helpful in explaining how Subversion works and is meant to be used.
Thanks for your reply. Not sure why you wish to post opinions or think it's clear when the book says "Send changes from your working copy to the repository" when I make a change in my working copy and it is ignored. Don't take it personal if a user does not understand something. And just because you understand something does not make it clear. It just makes it clear to you.
But none the less, thank you for explaining the weird behavior, it was very helpful.
