It looks revision 6 affected the "." directory in the repository, and
you working copy is at revision 5. Do you have more than one working
copy for this repository?

Two things strike me as odd. First is the "trunk" in the feedback
lines. If I have a working copy and I modify the "." directory, and
some files in ".", then when I commit I get things like

Sending .
Sending rc.R

I don't get a "trunk" component in the "Sending" lines. Do you have a
"trunk" directory in your working copy? No such directory was visible
in your "svn st" output. Did you really run "svn commit" without any
arguments?

The second thing is this commit has "Sending trunk" just like the
commit that failed. Did you leave out some steps? Did you perhaps
run "svn up" at some stage?

Given that the previous commit succeeded it's not surprising that this
one succeeded--both commits modify "trunk" so your working copy would
have been up to date after the revision 7 commit.

If you need more help I think you are going to have to provide a full
set of steps to enable someone else to reproduce the problem.
