I need to commit the folder after adding some new files to that folder. When I tried this in TortoiseSVN, it was working properly (committed successfully), but while trying this by using the svn commit command it did not commit the folder.
Steps I have followed are:
- Checkout the test folder from the repository, to
D:\Testfolder, - Add some new files to that test folder,
- Commit that folder using
svn.exe commit D:\Test -m "Added".
It was not committed. I have tried this in TortoiseSVN (right-click on that folder and click SVN Commit), and it committed successfully.

To add a file/folder to the project, a good way is:
First of all add your files to /path/to/your/project/my/added/files, and then run following commands:
svn cleanup /path/to/your/project
svn add --force /path/to/your/project/*
svn cleanup /path/to/your/project
svn commit /path/to/your/project -m 'Adding a file'
I used cleanup to prevent any segmentation fault (core dumped), and now the SVN project is updated.
Command-line SVN
You need to add your files to your working copy, before you commit your changes to the repository:
svn add <file|folder>
Afterwards:
svn commit
See here for detailed information about svn add.
TortoiseSVN
It works with TortoiseSVN, because it adds the file to your working copy automatically (commit dialog):
If you want to include an unversioned file, just check that file to add it to the commit.
First add the new files:
svn add fileName
Then commit all new and modified files
svn ci <files_separated_by_space> -m "Commit message|ReviewID:XXXX"
If non source files are to be committed then
svn ci <files> -m "Commit msg|ReviewID:NON-SOURCE"
Step1. $ cd [your working path of code]
Step2. $ svn commit [your server path ] -m 'Add commit message'
For help use $ svn help commit
