Cannot add files which contain '@' in filename
It seems like files with the '@' character in the name cannot be added
to a repo. I've verified this in two different repos using SVN version
1.6.17.
Here are the repro steps:
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ svn --version
svn, version 1.6.17 (r1128011)
compiled Feb 26 2012, 12:28:33
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ svn status
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ ls
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ touch "test@foo"
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ ls
test@foo
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ svn add ./test\@foo
svn: warning: 'test' not found
nick@nimble ~/test_repo $ svn add "test@foo"
svn: warning: 'test' not found
Is this a bug?
Best regards,
Nick

Hmm, that's a good point--it doesn't seem like peg revisions make sense when adding files. I'm just an average svn user though; I'll leave it to someone more knowledgable to answer whether svn add should treat "@" literally, rather than as a peg revision spec.

After all, how does svn know whether news@11 is the name of a directory in my tree or just a syntax for “revision 11 of news”? Thankfully, while svn will always assume the latter, there is a trivial workaround. You need only append an at sign to the end of the path, such as news@11@.

Thanks. Is it possible/valid to specify a peg revision when adding
files? If not, does it make sense for SVN to not attempt to interpret
the '@' character for this operation?

No, it's sort of hidden, but it is mentioned in the documentation:
