svn add --force ?

[Rafael Garcia-Suarez <rg...@free.fr>]

I see that svn add, unlike other commands (svn rm,...)
doesn't support --force. I have a suggestion : that --force on
svn add forces the creation of an empty file if a target doesn't
exist. This can be marginally useful.

(a little background : I'm writing a tool that import loads of
patches into a svn repository, and sometimes I need to add an empty
file, that appears in a list of modified files but not in the diff.)

I'd be fine with this behavior.  And your use-case is a good
argument for such, I think.  Care to submit a patch and log message?
