[TSVN] Errors renaming a directory

I'm not sure if this is a svn issues, a tsvn issue or an operator issue, but I spent several hours today trying to fix the mess it created.

I had a folder (containing about 100 archived files) that I wanted to rename (from Foo2 to Foo3). I right clicked on the folder and selected "TortoiseSVN->rename" and changed the name. After about 30 seconds, the new folder (Foo3) appears with the modified exclamation point icon and the old folder (Foo2) had the red X icon.

Everything looked fine.

I continued to work on files in the new Foo3 folder, and when I was done for the day, I went to commit the folder (Foo3) to the archive and was greeted with a stream of errors about files not being in the archive, etc. Unfortunately I was a little panic about loosing a lot of work and did not keep careful notes about the errors. After several tempts to get things committed, updated or reverted, I finally copied all the files out of the folder, deleted both folders from the archive and re-added all my files (loosing all the revision).

What did I do wrong?

The only thing that I can think of that might have been bad were files in the old folder (Foo2) that had not been committed when I did the Rename, but I would assume it would deal with that (or at lease complain gracefully).

I am running TortoiseSVN 1.1.7, Build 3240, UNICODE.
