Can't commit after switching working copy

Hi,

I've got a website for which I'm using svn to do version control.
Currently the following branches exist:

trunk
branches/site_1_0
branches/site_1_1

De docroot of the site is a working copy. Today I've upgraded the live
site from site_1_0 to site_1_1:

svn copy $repo/trunk $repo/branches/site_1_1 \
  -m 'Create a branche for site 1.1'
cd $docroot
svn switch $repo/branches/site_1_1

This had the desired effect: the trunk was now copied to site_1_1 and
the site was upgraded.

However, sometimes I need to do fixes to the live site, directly in
the docroot. This is where the problems start: most files have state
"S" in this 'svn status' output. svn completely ignores any change to
these files. They can't be reverted, they can't be commited.

So, what to do? I want to commit my changes to the site_1_1 branch and
I don't want downtime for the site if I can help it.
