"svn add myFolder" command don't add binary files

Question

I've a strange but maybe normal behavior.

When I do a "svn add myFolder", it adds the folder with all the files inside expected binary files.
I have to do a "svn add myFolder/*" as second command to add the missing binaries, but it raise error about the other already added files.

Is this normal or there is a way to do the two command as one ?

Answer 1

svn add --no-ignore myFolder

This will add both normal and binary files.

Answer 2

Considering this almost perfectly opposite question, and the fact I don't remember any issue like that, I'd guess your repository has some svn-ignore attributes set that filter some file types out. Also, the behaviour of svn add xxx/* matches, since it explicitely targets all the files one after another, and this as far as I remember would bypass the svn-ignore.

So.. I'd say, check your svn-ignores. Also, remember that they can be defined on each directory separately, not only at the root folder of the repository, so better check your current and all parent directories as well.
