Vilar, you need to understand that your working copy has mixed revision
numbers. This happens after *every* commit, and is completely normal.
If you never, ever run 'svn update', then your working will become more
and more "mixed" as time goes on.

Please read chapter 2; it explains all this. The critical section is
at the end, "The Limitation of Mixed Revisions."
