Rename is pretty limited in core Subversion so we have to do some
workarounds to deal with the problems. Fortunately, the next release
of Subversion (1.5) removes most/all of these limitations so we can
remove our workarounds. The biggest issue is that you cannot rename
something more than once without a commit. So rename a package and
then rename it again or even then rename a class in the package will
have problems.

Did you do your commit from the project root? A rename in Subversion
is implemented internally as a copy + delete. It sounds like you are
only committing the copy and not the delete. There are also cases
where the way the Eclipse refactor commands send things through is as
a move of the classes in the package rather than a rename of the
package itself.

Item out of date just means you need to perform an update on your
working copy. See this:
