It's impossible to add a directory using scm:add goal.
I have the following (simplified) folder structure under SCM:
```
<project_root>/pom.xml
<project_root>/folder1/file1.txt
```
When I try to add a new folder 'folder2' into the working copy using command
```
mvn scm:add -Dincludes=folder2
```
I get an error:
```
Cannot run add command : Exception while executing SCM command. You must
provide at least one file/directory to add
```
If I specify trailing slash for 'includes', i.e.
```
mvn scm:add -Dincludes=folder2/
```
I get an error like
```
[ERROR] Provider message:
[ERROR] The svn command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] svn: 'folder2' is not a working copy
```
Seems the problem is that `ScmFileSet` filters out all directories leaving
only files
