It is not the repo that is out of date, it is the local working copy.
This is the exact sort of scenario the posts I pointed you to
describe. When you do ANY commit in your working copy, after the
commit completes your working copy is ALWAYS out of date. The blog
post and links on mixed-revision working copies explains why.
The issue is just that most day to day operations do not require your
entire working copy to be complete up to date so you do not notice it.
A few operations like deleting a folder or setting folder properties
make it come up.
Of course people have files out of date all the time, but that
situation is so normal and obvious it does not cause the confusion
that folders do.
