This sounds somewhat similar to what I was doing recently, search the archives for my name if you're interested in my experience. Someone has already posted about the reasons why it happens. I ended up reporting a bug
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1864
which was then marked as a duplicate of
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=898
The thing that still bugs (sic) me is that I was attempting to do the "radical reorganization" scenario as described in the book, but it turns out to be much more complicated (and incomplete) to use the example solution that is then described.

--------------------------
Let's say that you've been given the task of performing a radical reorganization
of the project. It will take a long time to write, and will affect all the files
in the project. The problem here is that you don't want to interfere with Sally,
who is in the process of fixing small bugs here and there. She's depending on
the fact that the latest version of the project (in /calc/trunk) is always
usable. If you start committing your changes bit-by-bit, you'll surely break
things for Sally.
--------------------------
I don't intend to do any more radical reorganization any time soon, thank goodness ;-)
cheers,
Simon
