I want to use this simple command, which is already recursive:
svn add *
The problem is that the shell (ash) does not expand the asterisk to hidden files, i.e. files whose name begin with a dot.
AFAIK, you just can to use:
svn add directory
Every file and subdirectory will be added correctly.
As far as I know, neither bash nor tcsh do that either. Simply use svn add * .*
then.
svn: Skipping argument: '.svn' ends in a reserved name
svn: warning: '.' is already under version control
svn: Path '..' ends in '..', which is unsupported for this operation
# svn status ? .test

svn add *
in a directory which already is a working copy usually results in SVN complaining about items already added. Same happens when you "manually" try to add the very same file a second time.
