Missing argument -m using svn at windows powershell

I'm trying to run this at Windows PowerShell:

svn ci -m "" directory_name

but it returns:

svn: E205005: The log message is a pathname (was -F intended?); use '--force-log' to override

i tried to cd that directory and commit without directory_name argument, and it retuns:

svn ci -m ""

svn.exe: missing argument: m

i think that powershell maybe doesn't understand -args but rarely (to me) this works:

svn -h

Am i doing something wrong? All this at cmd works perfectly :/

You can use 

svn ci -m '""' directory_name

or

svn ci -m `"`" directory_name

PowerShell's argument passing to native programs is a bit weird sometimes and this is another edge case that's frustrating.
