I tried using svn ci dir/a dir/b -m "my comment" but this doesn't work. I also used svn ci dir/a/* dir/b/* -m "my comment" and it too doesn't work.

I know you can specify multiple files, but how can I tell subversion to check in all modified files in these folders? I mainly want to do this so that all my changes get in on one revision. I can checkin one directory at a time, but this ends up giving me different revisions for each directory..

You may need to specify what does "but this doesn't work" mean because it works fine here:

D:\Projects>svn commit -m 'test1' test\aaa "test\aaa bbb ccc"
Sending        test\aaa\aaa222\xxx.txt
Sending        test\aaa bbb ccc\aaa.txt
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 8.

D:\Projects>
