I don't know Eclipse or Subclipse. Please could you explain in more detail the
sequence of Subversion operations that is involved. When you say "We have used
-r N" do you mean Subclipse chooses a particular revision number (which one?)
to update to and then performs multiple updates (why? where?) to that same
revision?

I don't yet understand the problem. Are all of these user operations (commits,
updates) done from within Subclipse? What's the significance of your words
"come back and do an update at their root" and "rerun the whole process"?
