It won't add new files in subdirectories already under svn's control - you need to list those files specifically on the command line (or use wildcards to select the actual files).

Right.  And please be careful--especially if using wildcards--not to add 
things that shouldn't be there (like ".o" files, etc.).  ;)

And, you shouldn't need to do the "--force" for the add (although using 
"--force" shouldn't affect whether it's included in the diff).  Note, 
also, that binary files (or files that SVN thinks are binary) that have 
been added won't be included (they'll be mentioned in the diff, but 
their contents will not be included in the diff).
