bug perhaps?

Hi! I have a project hosted at googlecode and I had some problems today. I
added a directory called helpDocs which contained 100 .html files and one
.gif . when I tried to commit, I got the following error:

svn: Reference to non-existent node '
419be3c4f451eae3.2d07ad541765c99f.20510d6ce251fcd5' in filesystem
'landuseanalyst'

and saved to a tmp... so, what I did was moved everything to a backup, and
then did a clean checkout. no problems. I added a couple of other files,
committed, no problem. but when i tried to add the entire directory again,
same error. So I again did a clean checkout, but then added just the dir.
that committed fine. then I added about 15 files at a time, committing
between each time, and they all went perfectly fine. So, this seems
strange, but at least I got it to go :P

The svn status of the whole try (which failed) was:

and again, the error was:

419be3c4f451eae3.2d07ad541765c99f.b345f7c1d43fecd6' in filesystem

note the number seems different... <???>

anyway, I hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more info!

Oh. right.
