TortoiseSVN commit bug

Hello.

I get the bug often when I try to commit changes on files after many steps.
I know I make the reason of why it fails, but I think the way SVN handles
with it is just wrong.

Basically, because I have moved files through SVN, and done it again, and
then reverted it. I getting errors on commit. This is often happening,
because tools like eclipse
do not support svn move / rename so I need to do that manually.

The problem is, I do not know whether I caused the bug or not until I make
the commit. Usually I do not, but few times happened that annoying thing.
My question is why the files, merges, deletes are commited to the server
when commit fails at some point of progress ? (think they shouldn't)
OK, they are commited, but therefore why it is not applied to my local svn
repository information.
Commit fails, half files are uploaded, and the working copy is totaly
locked. I cannot unlock it, beacause it fails on "commited" on directories
that were commited in commit, but
that have not changed their status on my disk. I cannot do anything. I
cannot just skip the error folder. I cannot synchronize files status. it is
completely messed up.

So the bug story:
1. Commit on files.
2. Error occurs somewhere in there.
3. Files before error are committed, but they have not changed their status,
so SVN tries still to commit them.
4. Clean up do not work.
5. Cannot do anything because workspace is locked and it cannot be unlocked,
pretty annoying.
