[Subclipse-users] SVN: Accepting new directory versions "hides" my locally updated files (outgoing updates)

I'm an old CVS user that recently began using SVN. I've read many
threads in the archive beginning like that ;-) and I suspect that I just
don't understand how Subversion is intended to work, so I'm hoping
someone can shed light on this scenario.

Say for example I begin with an Eclipse project that is synched with
SVN, I edit 2 files, then do a synch and commit ONLY ONE of the files.
My Team Synch perspective now shows me that I have incoming updates for
all directories in the past that lead to the file I changed. So, I
accept those changes into my workspace. At this point, the second file
(the one I updated but did not commit) disappears from my Team Synch
perspective. I can re-synch the project and it still doesn't appear.
The only way to get it to show up there again as a file with an outgoing
update is to do a Team-Synch on just that individual file. Then, I can
do a synch on the entire project and it will show this file as
containing an outgoing change.

Can anyone explain this behavior and whether I am doing something wrong,
have a wrong assumption of how it should work, or if this is an SVN bug?

Also, I am working with a Windows XP client, Eclipse 3.2.2, MyEclipse
5.5.1 GA, and Subclipse 1.2.4.

Thanks!
