new directories can't be added to changelist

When I add to a changelist, directories are skipped:

$ svn cl -R 'refactor' /src/main/java/com/mycompany/myproject/http/
Skipped /src/main/java/com/mycompany/myproject/http'
A [refactor] /src/main/java/com/mycompany/myproject/http/StaticFileHandler.java

Then when I go to commit, I get an error:

$ svn ci --cl 'refactor' -m 'my message'
svn: E200009: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E200009: '/src/main/java/com/mycompany/myproject/http' is not known to exist in the repository and is not part of the commit, yet its child '/src/main/java/com/mycompany/myproject/common/service/http/StaticFileHandler.java' is part of the commit

Instead, I have to do a separate "pre-commit" of any new directories in order to be able to do a commit by changelist. This is clearly a bug with changelists. Why can't directories be included in a changelist?
