How do I update to latest after "Revert to this revision"?

I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.5.7, Build 15182 - 32 Bit , 2009/01/24 22:44:13
under Vista.

I wanted to check an old version of the code to see if a bug existed, and
used "Revert to this revision" in the log dialog to revert my working
copy.

Having done that I am having difficulty in changing back to the latest
code. Choosing "SVN Update" from the explorer menu has no effect, saying
that the code is at the latest revision, but it's not. Also, choosing
"Update item to revision" or "Revert to this revision" for the latest
revision in the log dialog have no effect.

The only way to update appears to be to delete a local file that was
changed. Then doing "SVN Update" replaces the deleted file with the
latest revision from the server. However there are some difficulties with
using this - some files were added by later revisions, so were therefore
deleted when I reverted. These files are not being restored when I do
"SVN Update".

I am loathe to delete all the local working copy and start again as there
is some data files interspersed in the file structure so simply deleting
and starting again is not straightforward.

Is there a command I am missing? (I've reviewed the Subversion book).

Hugh
