svn: Commit failed

Hello all.

I'm having a problem with my Subversion server. I've been using
Subversion for years and have never run into anything like this.

> Sending app/controllers/videos_controller.rb
> svn: Commit failed (details follow):
> svn: Your file or directory 'app/controllers/videos_controller.rb'
> is probably out-of-date
> svn: The version resource does not correspond to the resource
> within the transaction. Either the requested version resource is
> out of date (needs to be updated), or the requested version
> resource is newer than the transaction root (restart the commit).

Even though I've updated the local repository by changing to the root
of the working copy and issuing an svn update. Moving the purportedly
out-of-date file out of the way, and issuing an svn update, then move
the file back into place always solves this problem and allows a
commit, though this doesn't always happen to one file at a time,
which makes commits rather tedious. :-)

I haven't bothered posting until I had something more interesting to
say. :-)

We just noticed that we only get these errors if we check out at the
root of the repository.

If we checkout at http(s)://repo.ourdomain.com/ we have this problem.

If we checkout at http(s)://repo.ourdomain.com/trunk we do not have
this problem.

Help! :-)
