Unable to commit a directory as part of changelist.

If I do

svn commit --changelist MYCHANGELIST -m "MYMESSAGE"

I get

'A' is not known to exist in the repository and is not part of the commit, yet its child 'A/myfile.cpp' is part of the commit

If I am trying to add directory to a commit

svn changelist MYCHANGELIST A

I get

Skipped 'A'

So I have vicious circle.

How to overcome?

The same may happen with no any changelists... What to do in the situation?

You can't commit to the repo any object, which isn't a part of tree, thus - all parents of changelist's members must be in repository or committed with changelist, obviously.

If you got "skipped ..." message on commit, I suppose (can't test and too lazy to build testpad) you have A in ignore-list, check it with svn st --no-ignore. Ignored objects can't be committed to the repo by design and purpose, but you can force add ignored objects to repo and these addition will be stored in repo and used later

Read about global --parents option, use it in svn ci or, maybe, in svn add before commit
