This is what most users do every day. Adding files and folders is an
absolutely standard operation and if there were a problem with it we
would be receiving emails from thousands of users, not just one.
Either your working copy or your repository is messed up. Since you
are using Eclipse I would suspect a working copy problem. What happens
if you follow your own set of steps on a PC which is not using
Eclipse?
