Not sure if this would help you out of this position, but between(3) and (4) should be (3.5) do SVN update. It'll certainly get you out of the out-of-date problem and prevents any mixed-revision issues. Check out the Subversion book. This operation is SOP. I've had no problems in 4 years of using Tortoise sticking to this simple procedure.
