title: SVN at command line - how to import, then commit
body: <p>I'm exploring the automation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion" rel="nofollow">Subversion</a> (SVN) commits.</p>
  
  <p>I just imported the directory into Subversion using</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn import C:\sourcedir http://[my svn location] -m Message
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This worked fine. </p>
  
  <p>After modification I tried to commit the changes with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn add --depth=infinity --force *
  svn commit -m Message
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I get the error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>svn: E155007: 'E:\sql' is not a working copy</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This is correct; in Explorer using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TortoiseSVN" rel="nofollow">TortoiseSVN</a> there are no icons either.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing? Why isn't my folder a working copy after importing it into Subversion?</p>
