svn add — Add files, directories, or symbolic links.

--targets FILENAME --non-recursive (-N) --quiet (-q) --config-dir DIR --auto-props --no-auto-props --force
To add a file to your working copy:
$ svn add foo.c A foo.c
When adding a directory, the default behavior of svn add is to recurse:
$ svn add testdir A testdir A testdir/a A testdir/b A testdir/c A testdir/d
You can add a directory without adding its contents:
$ svn add --non-recursive otherdir A otherdir
Normally, the command svn add * will skip over any directories that are already under version control. Sometimes, however, you may want to add every unversioned object in your working copy, including those hiding deeper down. Passing the --force option makes svn add recurse into versioned directories:
$ svn add * --force A foo.c A somedir/bar.c A otherdir/docs/baz.doc [...]
