Just do "svn up" in both directories and all files will be at r5.

When you commit, a directory can then contain mixed revisions. Imagine the
following layout:

/foo/abc (r1)
/foo/bar (r1)

Some else edits and commit /foo/abc, which is now at r2. But in your directory
it's still at r1. You then edit /foo/bar and commit, and it will be at r3,
while your /foo/abc is still at r1. This is to reduce network traffic, AFAIK,
and to avoid surprises: imagine you commat /foo/bar and suddenly
your /foo/abc is different !

A simple "svn up" will fix this mixed revision issue.

Don't be scared, you will soon see the light and never look back at CVS
again ;-)
