    So sorry, I should've RTFM ...

    http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svn.c.add.html

    You can add a directory without adding its contents:

    $ svn add --depth=empty otherdir
A         otherdir

    Edit: This doesn't work recursively though, is there any way to do that too?

  2. If you want to do it recursively, maybe this will work for you?

    find . -type d ! -name '.' ! -path "*.svn*" -print0 | xargs -0 svn add --depth=empty

  3. Late to the party, but

    svn add --non-recursive

    works non-recusively.
