SVN---Add current directory (.) to changelist

I created a .svnignore file and then set it with the command $ svn propset svn:ignore -R -F .svnignore .. Now my current directory, ., and another subdirectory, figures, are shown as modified.

$ svn status 
 M      .
 M      figures

When I try adding these two directories to a changelist, it fails. How do I add these two directories to a changelist?

$ svn changelist 'Pink Fairy Armadillo' . figures
Skipped '.'
Skipped 'figures'
Solution

  • How do I add these two directories to a changelist?

    You can't. From the SVN documentation:

    Changelist Limitations

    Changelists can be assigned only to files—Subversion doesn't currently support the use of changelists with directories.
